Mint green filler on b pillar seam
« on: January 17, 2021, 08:44:36 PM »
I’ve been prepping my 66 for paint.   The body had at least 3 paint jobs on it which easily scraped off with a hand scraper.  The factory paint does not scrape off easily, to be expected.  The order of factory paints applied on my 66 is red primer, light grey primer, then candy apple red topcoat.  This is consistent on the exterior surface of the car.    Now, one thing I want to mention is that at the b pillar lead seam, there is mint green filler or primer applied over the lead and it looks factory.   I want
To mention for a point of reference here. 

Thanks, Mike Fritz 66 Mustang

When and where was the car built? Might want to add that info to your signature as most have here ;)

Picture of what you found and where it was located would be helpful if you can or did take pictures

That definitely filler, not primer. It's normal.

Back in the late 60's, commonly known as "Green Stuff", aka 3M Lacquer Putty. Don't know if it was used at the Factory (but sounds like it was), but a common "staple" at most Body Shops and Paint Jobbers.

Looks like it still exists, see pic.

It’s definitely under the original paint on my car, so I guess the factory used the stuff!
