Topic: Slop? Overspray? Something else? July 64 Dearborn

Depending on plant and time period examples have been found like the example posted. Especially noticeable on cars with high contrasting colors such as exterior white.

On a restoration you should still be able to see that the outer edge is direct application and the majority of the inner area is a heavy misting. As mentioned the white really makes it stand out. In comparison a Poppy Red exterior over a red oxide floor makes the over spray (if applied this heavy) almost disappear

as i mentioned earlier - i had no red oxide originally visible underneath. i also, through sanding, have not seen any under the layers of history.

was your car having that much body overspray? it looks like it goes about everywhere

There was a lot! I think the old time guns really let the overspray fly.
