Yes they were painted.  The body was assembled(fenders, hood, doors, trunk lid, grill in some years) before it was painted.  The lighter colors got a pinchweld blackout.  Sometimes it was brushed on...sometimes it was sprayed on.

I knew that man... My roof was welded to the car but it wasn't painted.... It was just metal under there with a bit of primer and some ugly Chrysler bondo work around the rear window. (SE car)...


I guess they didn't care to paint the roof so why paint the bolts.. :)

That's why I asked. LOL.
