Bob,

I am not an FC expert, but there are a couple of lists for questions like
this, so I am forwarding your message to both:

Corvanantics (The Forward Control group):

Stock Corvair Group: http://www.vv.corvair.org/mailman/listinfo/scg-list


Somebody on one of these lists should be able to answer Bob's question.

Hi Bill first thanks for all the great work. 
 
I had a question for you on painting a 63 FC. The restoration is done its
time to paint. (the picture is a before!)  It will be a red truck with a
white stripe. I have seen a variety of ways folks have continued stripes
where it goes into the Jam of the Ramp and door areas and looking at dealer
brochures you see a some conflicting pictures. I also ask in regards to the
interior painting I think the outside paint color wrap inside as far as the
door skin goes inside maybe a 1/2 inch (to the sheet metal pinch line). Then
the interior color (gold) continues through out the entire interior except
where I'm putting the Cameo White in the triangular area on the doors, and
the inset around the instrument panel and glove box door, ash tray. I'm
trying to determine the placement of the tape lines. 
Is there any reference material that shows detail? I'm about to just paint
it however I feel it will look good after looking at 5-6 ramps that's how
I'm starting to  think folks are handling it.(We have 4 ramps in our club
and one Greenbrier.
