Agreed.

I have a 69 Z/28 being restored and there were a few sections that had been repainted but it never had a complete repaint.  Here is the underside:



However, for judging, my understanding is that it should be black and not primer color.

I am not sure if this info has been posted but these documents have a lot of GREAT info:

1967 http://gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/docs/Camaro/1967-Chevrolet-Camaro.pdf

1968 http://gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/docs/Camaro/1968-Chevrolet-Camaro.pdf

1969 http://gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/docs/Camaro/1969-Chevrolet-Camaro.pdf

For a long time, I have been curious about what color the underside of a 1969 Camaro should be.  There were quite a few postings that the color black on the underside of a Norwood car is the stuff of showcars.  After reading page 49 (as labeled on the page) "Exterior Paint Process", I would tend to agree that original undersides were primer color.
