Ok, I am now leaning to painting the front of the cowl black...........is this semi gloss black and does anyone have a correct PPG or Dupont number black that would be correct...........or what about this SEM trim black??
That's a cool document, looks like the date says it was one of the pre build engineering prints, I don't think I've ever seen one painted with just the inner fenders blacked out in the engine compartment but the rest I have. Am I reading the print wrong or is it showing the blackout in the engine compartment inner fender? Where did you get such a collectable document? Pretty neat.
I think most are black due to repainting a car, and not pulling the engine...easier to black-out the compartment that to paint around the engine...
plum6pak, I think your not looking at the document quite right. The engine compartment is not blacked out, if you notice the crosshatch is different there denoting that in reality what is blacked out is hidden from view in the angle that you are looking at. So in real life if you were to look at the car from that angle you would not see the black out becuase it is on the otherside of the sheet metal. Look at the radiator support and you will see the same thing, the part that is under the header panel is cross hatched differently then the part that you can actually see in real life. Hope that made sense.
