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 think there is either some color change over time or they used a different color. Cairo's car actually had some pieces that looked beige and some looked more grey. A 73 S I'm also doing looks more grey. It has 43,000 original miles. I'm looking at a new system and will report back after the first of the year. the rep was supposed to come out this week, and called yesterday to say it won't be until after the first. He swears I will be able to match ANY texture perfectly. I've also been talking to a Ferrari restoring that is having the same issue now that SKS is only in black. He had the same results I did with the U-Pol Gravi-tex. Looked great when sprayed but layed down too smooth overnight so it's a no go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
