Hi Joe,   I have an original brochure and the paint does extend in a 
straight line along the lower edge of the trim around into the wheel 
wells.  I found some of the original paint on my car and it was a stone 
and chip paint that was fairly flat with some texture.  I ended up using 
pickup truck bed coating which is very tough and looks right.  It looks 
like undercoating, but goes on nice and even and has a texture that 
seems to match the original.  Make sure to scuff the paint before 
applying.  Hope that helps.
