I recently had my engine lid dipped to remove all the paint on it, and mostly grease. The trouble is, I cant remember how the bottom is supposed to be painted. I know the top side is black under the mesh grill, but is it also black on the bottom side of the lid? Or is the entire piece body colored on the bottom?
Thanks |

I believe they are body colored on the entire bottom. My car is in storage now, so I can't check right now, sorry.

As a follow-up question, the mesh grill and area of the lid directly under it should be semi-glass black, as opposed to flat black or full gloss - is that right?

The area under the grill is flat black, the grill is semigloss. That's how mine looks anyway.. 35 year old paint.
Thomas, I'll take a look tomorrow and try to post some mpegs for you. |

"grill" should be semi-gloss top & underside, as well as the supporting structure. |

I don't know how accurate it has to be, but the body color portions of the engine lid are full color gloss on the exterior top surfaces and relatively dull color over primer on the underside. If I were to repaint, I'd paint it gloss top and bottom, but I'm not concerned about the concours thing.

Is there a difference between "semi-gloss" and satin? I thought it was satin black.
