So when the plant painted a car (69 AMX), was the entire car, top to bottom painted in that color? I see a lot of cars underneath are black - perhaps undercoating - and if not undercoated should the underside be the same as the body paint? Thanks.

Body color underneath over the brownish black primer. There was spray undercoating in the wheel well areas and AMC may have partially undercoated the bottom surface of the gas tank. Scott Campbell and Ross Peterson would know for sure and could confirm or correct the above.

They were mostly painted body color underneath and it was not just overspray- it was done on purpose. The later cars may have less color on the bottom, but 68-9 had a lot of coverage. I have pics of original cars showing this
