Pretty much in theory. The goal though would be to keep the sides, sills, beaver etc with the factory blackouts intact. Just the turret, lower tailgate and front part of the bonnet would get paint. This would also allow the car to retain Survivor status as at least 50% of the factory paint remained.

Yes, for HQ and HJ the stripes were dealer fitment and only if the customer wanted them.
Although the Company was called General Motors Holdens back then, not Holden. Holden was the name of the W sized vehicles (HQ-WB).
