Unsure I understand your question.  If I use my unrestored 59 as an example its a matte black or semi gloss black spray.  If it wasn't undercoated by understanding is that it would be in red oxide primer.

This is the color that I had mixed up in a single stage. The original was red oxide primer. But you would not want to use any of the modern stuff calling itself that.

I epoxy painted my underbody and took a cut off sample of the redoxide to be color matched in a single stage urethane.

In the factory when they painted the body you would see a foot to foot and a half of body color overspray around the perimeter over the red oxide.
