Ben,
All of the body is painted the same color with the exception of the
radiator supports and the rails forward of the radiator supports
which were painted black.
On the last paint job, where we went to bare metal, the car was
primed in a red rust inhibiting primer and then a gray sanding
primer. Bear in mind that my car is Nevada Beige. These were all
PPG products.
