Hey Guys,


I've seen restored Seville's that have the under body painted the same color as the upper body. I've also seen some that have black under coating. What is the correct factory setup?

Undercoating was a dealer installed option.  Mine is a SoCal Caddy and it has 100% of the original undercoating

During this era, the underbodies were not painted the same colour as the car.  If dealer-applied undercoat is not present, the correct underbody appearance would be red oxide primer with black sound deadening material sprayed on certain areas.
