Blacked out rocker panel

[bcmiller]

Rockers were hand masked and there will be some variation from car to car. Rockers are not and never have been gloss.

Another piece of info I don't think was mentioned. The blackout was sprayed before the fenders were installed, so it extends onto the lower portion of the side of the cowl. Mine actually has a tape line that extends from the rocker, across the side of the cowl to the first pinch weld on the passenger side, while the driver side is done rather sloppy, like the tape line came off and you can see the black paint shot upwards onto the side of the cowl. Gives me the impression these were sprayed while the car was up in the air and the gun pointed upward. All this is covered with the fenders installed. Then I assume since the front is painted separately the blackout is then added to the fender.

Mine still has it's original black out present in this area and that's the way it appears to me. 12D Norwood car if that makes a difference.

Fisher did the rocker blackout; Chevy final assembly did the fenders. When they remembered.

Here's some of that 'variation' right on the showroom floor.
