To paint or not to paint inside fenders? Options

What is correct inside the fenders?

Paint with the same color of the car?

I have seen so many 914´s with black material in the fenders.

Mine actually has the black material...however, I am considering removing the black material and repainting the wheel wells the color of the car...Light Ivory.

If painted...is there a material to spray over the paint to protect it against rock and/or debriss picked up by the tires?

My 74 was undercoated at the dealer- SOP back in 1974 Virginia. It's white underneath the undercoating.

Mine has the undercoating, and it's pretty messy in its installation. I've concoured my car for a long time, both in my PCA region and nationally at the parade, but never where originality was the defining factor. Even so, since it was installed at the dealership, as a judge I would not deduct for it being there. The factor would be its condition and cleanliness.

I seem to remember Steve Gaglione telling me the tale of laying on his back under the car and meticulously removing undercoating on his Sahara Beige 2.0. Wondering if 40 some odd years later if it comes off more easily...perhaps exposing pristine paint underneath.
