They were rolled so the cars could be lowered one inch.

Ok,

In 1970, Boss 302s were made in two factories - Dearborn and Metuchen. What is different about the paint on the underside of the trunk lid on 1970 Boss 302s built between these two factories? (notice I added the year in the question for Keith

)

Nope, both mostly came with them. Look again at the question - it has to do with the paint itself.
