Does anyone know for sure if the Factory painted the area behind the fog lights / horns black or was it body color?
My car was body color, but the car had been repainted at least one time. I vaguelu remeber the '70's (if you know what I mean) and I think there was black paint in that area. I'd apreciate it if anyone has info and / or pics on the subject. Thanks, Eddie |

Thank you guys.
Paul, thanks for the pics., the close-up with the sanding marks is very convincing. Thomas, thanks for the nice close-up too, and thanks for that cool absract 914 pic. Is that a reference to the '70's?? Since this is the CW forum and since it's unanimous, I'm going with body color. Thanks again, Eddie |

Thanks again, Eddie Eddie, Body color is correct. The horns were originally galvanized, which quickly deteriorated because they are subject to everything that weather can provide. Years ago, I took my horns to bare metal, sprayed them with Rust Oleum galvanizing paint (still available?) and clear coated them. They still look great. Pat |
