Very nice original Camaro, I wish I had the funds to buy it.

Can someone explain the trunk pictures to me. It appears to me that there is trunk splatter paint on the truck lid hinge support bracket(s) but it then just stops and then there is no splatter paint in the rest of the trunk area. Is this something the GM factory would do?

That is an anomaly to only have so little spatter in the trunk. Having worked an assembly line, there is only a given amount of time the vehicle is in your "station" to get everything you are assigned done. Either the spray gun ran out of spatter, and there wasn't time to get it spraying after a drum change or the installer ran out of time.

Looks like the trunk has been repainted.
Same with the underside of the hood.

It was pretty obvious, look at the side marker light. Certainly typical spray bomb painting used to prevent rust.
