The Paint & Refinish Manual is a great resource for understanding the procedure, -however I guess if we apply your second comment above, then it really does not matter knowing how it was originally done if we have no desire to follow that protocol.


While the vehicle is yours to do as you wish and I would first recommend for you to do what suits your desire, -I would also add that it really is the same basic work to mimic something that is 'aesthetically authentic' when doing the secondary color layout. Sometimes I feel we tend to get hung-up on the dislike of adjudication, ...and thus losing the value in us learning how to replicate or recreate something as it was originally manufactured.
