[Healeys] Factory body/ frame primer

[Randy Hicks]

Shawn, my BN2 100M had both reddish brown and black primer. Seemed to vary. The  door hinges were painted on the car and there is black primer when hinges removed. See photo; Black also appears a couple other places but the majority of the chassis is primed in reddish brown.

BTW, it was a 33,000 mile car with original paint and never apart before.

All later cars (BN4 on) that I have had experience with had red oxide primer used from the factory.  Does anyone know was there a switch point? Were all 100's primered black? Were all cars eletro coated, and later cars primed with red oxide additionally? Was elctro coating even a thing back then? Just curious.
