1969 Original details... brushed clear over Vin stamp?

(1/2) > >>

Here is the photo of the black survivor 69 Z's cowl top Vin stamp... the clear brushed over I have been told is not original, however the clear has small chips of orange paint over white paint so I am going to have to go out on a limb and say this was applied just after the VIN was stamped on the Chevrolet side and maybe N633598 was a pace car...

OPINIONS?

Dusk Blue Z:
James,

My cars upper stamped VIN looks like the clear was poured on it, really thick and no brush marks.

Sweet just what I was looking for... confirmation of additional cars with the same observations... anyone else? 
What is the build date on your car?
Doubt it was poured, probably just a brush out of a can... thus extremely heavy and would flow out appearing to be poured. .

william:
One theory is that it is rubber cement, same stuff used to glue the foam blocks to the bottom of the cowl vent grille.

firstgenaddict:
The stuff for the neoprene wedges in the cowl vent?
