Paint question
Next weekend I am painting the hood after it gets soda blasted on Wednesday. My truck has been painted a second time by the PO. The hood is 100% wimbledon white. Yet when looking at the cowl just behind it is white above the cowl trim and a stripe of blue just below. This of course follows the line of the door but would be interrupted by the hood not having that stripe below it's piece of trim. Since I have never seen a two tone truck in person who can tell me IF the hood is all white or has the second color just below the trim?

I have seen them taped up for painting right down the line where the trim mounting holes are, and then stoped where the trim stops. Not 100% sure if that is the way the factory did it.....
hope that helps

The second color runs along the hood molding line (under the molding, to hide the tape off). It stops maybe an inch or so shy of the end of the molding, then the 'tape' is used vertically downward and under the lower hood lip. Kind of hard to describe. I can email a photo of mine if you want to see what it should look like.

Thanks, as that was exactly what I needed. It also looks to me that the white was the base coat and then areas were tapped off and sprayed with the secondary color next although that wouldn't exactly explain the situation in the cowl area.
