yes it was original for the frame to be painted the same color as the
body. i've seen and read in many books, magazines (can't remember which)
that many people paint thier frames black because they didn't think that's
the way it was. i can vouch for my own car when i say that her frame is
painted the same as the body. and i know it's original because any where
it's hard for someone to paint is the same as the rest of the body. also,
the commision plate has the factory color stamp matching the color of the
car (17-damson). i think it would be easier to paint the framae the asme
as the rest of the car anyway.
