I believe one factory option, M640, was PVC undercoating, and then body color on top of that. That has the appearance of textured paint

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) My 73 914/4 was sprayed with beige stone guard (over bare metal) in the wheel wells (as well as on the entire underside and below the engine shelf) and then painted (Ravenna green). I'm restoring the car and it was never repainted in its original color so it must have come from the factory that way.

Per my email above, I snapped this pic of the front right wheel well. I've (painstakingly) scraped off the original stone guard with a putty knife and heat gun. The car was only Ravenna green once so the wheel wells were never repainted. As you can see, the factory sprayed the stone guard over what appears to to me to be bare metal and then sprayed the color over the stone guard. Unfortunately Wurth Canada only sells the stoneguard in white or black. I bought two containers of black for when the time comes (I will prime and paint over it), but might order white instead to be closer to the beige and so chipped paint is less noticeable.

@doug_b_928 nice detective work. Do you know if the white Wurth paint can be tinted? Might be able to have your local paint shop add color (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Actually, it's coming back to me now....at least in Canada the paintable rubberized undercoating is only available in black (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I think this proves the point of factory painted wheel wells (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
