I am doing my first 914. The under side and wheel wells of my (originally gold) car has a lot of black paint on it. What is considered original when repainting a car of this make. The car above the engine and tranny is all gold but the belly pan and wheel wells seemed to have been painted black. Was this from the factory?
Post here or e-mail me. Tx |

QUOTE(tracks914 @ Jan 16 2003, 01:37 PM) Now I know to piant the whole car the same colour and not to paint the wheel wells and underside black. Well that's only if you want it to appear "factory". I'm painting my wheel wells black to help hide dirt and tar. I'm painting my underbody and engine compartment white to help track leaks. I'll probably paint the trunks black too. Didn't the GT's do that? Jon |
