Front should be a satin finish, with a heavy rubber sqeeze-type seal on the trailing edge. Muffler shield should be painted body color, though the paint would be thin - many were sparayed with rustproofing in the eastern states prior to delivery (along with the rest of the belly). Hope this helps. Pat |

Hope this helps. Pat Pat- grey like primer on mine, w/ spatterings of undercoating. No white to be seen. |

I've seen all kinds of variation on these & in all cases, the best body color paint was minimal. Seems like when they painted the underside of the rear trunk, the muffler cover caught some or none of the paint - usually very thin if any, like it not really intended to be sprayed. Pat |

Pat Sorry, yes the heat shield is just primer & undercoating. The steering shield is gloss black like engine tin. |

My 72 has the muffler shield as Pat as described it. it has the undercoating and then the body colored sprayed over it. |
