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 ?

I have access to an original, one owner six. It has won many PCA Concours awards at the Parade over the years and is one of the nicest original sixes in the country. I checked with the owner as to what was on it from the factory. It has the grey PVC undercoating, then full coverage body color, then the dealer had put black undercoating on over that.

I can get photos at some point if people want to see it.

Thats exactly how Porsche Classic answered me when asking how to paint my -six original way.
