Hi, Finished up some metalwork on a Mustang restoration I have been working on. I blasted/primed all the suspension, frame rails, etc. Basically totally metal from bumper to bumper across the bottom.
Heres the question: What color was the engine bay and suspension painted from the factory. I have seen some restorations where the bottom of the car was painted the same color as the body. I know the engine bays are black but is it supposed to be a gloss, flat, or what? Is all the suspension/rear end, springs, steering shafts, control arms, etc normally painted the same color? Does anyone happen to have a paint code? Or even better a brand recommendation/type? There is no rust, I put in the one piece floor pan, firewall, rockers, torque boxes, rear frame rails/crossmember, all 4 fender aprons and radiator support/front crossmember.
Just trying to get some ideas from someone who has done this.
Thanks in advance.....
Chris
