Finishing up the underside of my six and painter wonders what he is supposed to do with my heat shield. There is evidence of paint on it, although he doesn't agree. Body color or satin black or? Thanks in advance.

I thought all heat shields were galvanized raw in color but I don't know much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Mine isn't a "true" six but has original paint on the shield if not bit burnt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

Thanks guys, body color it is. I also brought home a box of the headlight stuff and will post pics shortly. Painter thinks they should be black satin...I'm wondering body color.

Yup- Bruce (of course) nailed it. Headlight mechanisms were grey. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Ok, I just checked my sons 72 1.7 (in progress) and the headlight mechanisms looked like they were in primer grey. What is the correct grey...and maybe rattlecan them? And my bonnet braces got painted satin black also...but they should be body color? How about the battery hold down?

Later /4s always have the shield welded on ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
