Re: Paint question
I had my inner fenders painted to match fire wall and truck. Then I painted the radiator support black mainly because the radiator is black also

Re: Paint question
Poweder Coat Black you can't see the oil stains or grim that will build up after it has been on the road for a while and who likes to wax inner panels?

I agree Dan, I will wax her alot if I have too. I mean this is the look I wanted, I wanted it to match the firewall to be equal all around. Plus the polished stainless steel button head bolts make it jump out

Re: Paint question
I painted mine to match with a little black, hood hinges,radiator and shroud power steering,frame and suspention.If you go to all the work of cleaning and painting or powdercoating it's going to get polished up before it gets too dirty again.

Re: Paint question
I painted my firewall and inner fenders satin chassis black so I could keep moving forward. I keep changing my mind on the exterior color. Also easier to touch up in the future. Radiator and support are same black too. Grille surround, etc. will be body color. Grille pewter silver to match the bumpers.
