How did the factory paint Carribeans in 1956

The paint on my 56 Carribean convertible trunk is starting to chip away. I was told that the paint is all original on the car. However, the body shop thinks that someone may have re-sprayed the trunk in the past. The body shop is in the process of sanding down my trunk lid to repaint it due to the paint flaking off. I've attached A photo of what the trunk looks like. It appears that Packard used the old red primer, painted the car blue, and then painted the Dover White over the blue paint. Is this normal for how Packards were painted at the factory?

Thanks

Scott
