Were the factory original wings for 1970-1971 E-Body's painted in Organosol?

I'm pretty sure that what was used on a repaint I had done on a 70 go wing back in 1979-80 I had painted.

So, not sure a wing was optional on 73 cuda but I installed one and its flat black. Opinions, if I should paint it the dark textured organisol like I have on the tailpanel or just leave it alone.
Thanks

I read somewhere that they were painted Organosol, I just can't find or remember where.

I don't know if it was available on the 73 'Cudas or not, but if the Wing was Organosol that's what I would paint it as. JMHO. Every Wing I've seen out of the box has been painted black. Usually primer black unless it was plastic.

Yep, mine was flat black out of the box and need to paint it this spring. Will probably use the black textured organisol.
Thanks

I think the 70 go wing, and 71 gull wing/spoilers were the options unless it was a 70 AAR. Could be wrong.
A quality matte black base and clear will look good in my opinion.

I do not believe any wing was optional in 73, but you never know I guess.
