what's the proper undercoating for a 914-6? Options

I tried extending a thread on the originality forum, but not much luck there:

Anyone have photos of an original or 100% properly restored 914-6 showing the rear fender wells and bottom side of the rear trunk? It seems like black undercoating is never right as it was just applied by the dealers or ports (or something), and besides it's ugly.

So, it seems like the good options for these areas appears to be:

1. metal -> primer -> body color paint

2. metal -> primer -> grey PVC undercoating

3. metal -> primer -> grey PVC undercoating -> body color paint

Or ?

So the bottom of the trunk floor should primarily be grey, with over spray just from painting some areas. Like this... ?

Body color:

- upper engine compartment
- lower engine compartment
- front & rear fender wells
- rockers

Grey with overspray:

- bottom of rear trunk (above transmission)
- bottom of floor (i.e. the majority of the bottom of the car)
- bottom of front trunk floor (around the a-arms)

Is that right? I just don't think I've ever seen a photo of a 914 or 914-6 that was primarily grey on the bottom... ?
