1973 model year question for the experts
As much as I can determine, in 1972, Porsche painted the smugglers box door body color. I have verified this on original cars and then again the other day when those pics of the factory in '71 building '72 cars were posted (Great pics by the way and thank you). For '73, it looks like Porsche painted the top of the smugglers box door semi gloss black (verified on a couple of original cars including Mr. C. Millers fine example). It appears the door was painted originally in body color and then while the door was off the car...maybe hung up, given a quick spray of semi-gloss black.
Here's my question.....Why would they have gone to the extra effort to paint the smugglers box door semi-gloss black.
Here are some photo's of a door I picked up, notice the spray patterns
Thanks in advance for the help
