62 Hood Bumpers installed before blackout?

[Anthony P.]

Was the hood bumper hardware (adjustable post, nut/washer) that mounts on the female latch assemblies in place before the blackout process?

I am trying to determine if there should be over spray on it. Over the past few months, I have looked at a few top flight cars and have seen paint and no paint.

Thanks,

Tony

Tony -

The St. Louis Paint Shop Process Notes I have from Harry Jones (who was there) indicate that those hood bumpers were installed in the Body Shop, with the female latches.

Thanks John,

So then, that answers the question that there should be some amount of blackout at least on the bottom of the post and the nut/washer.
