Default Blacked out section inside door?

Does anyone have a pic of the inside door with the blacked out section?

Would love to see it without the door panel on..

Thanks!

Adam

Car was painted once but I am pretty sure they never removed the door panels

Not the best pictures, but all I could find. This is my 79' original paint.

From 69 to 79, that job probably changed to different guys with different spray guns numerous times. What was that blackout for anyway?

I always wondered that too. Body color would look better.
