PANEL BEHIND FRONT GRILL COLOUR?

[singleton]

Just a quick question, I have a 1968 4 door saloon in trafalgar blue, the outer grill I believe would have had silver slats from the factory to match silver wheels?? but what colour would the radiator mount panel behind the grill have been? I always presumed it would be body colour but seem to see a lot of traf blue cars with this panel painted white? Also would the origional coachline have been white?

rad panel is black but the top is body colour
the grill would be snowberry white
coach line pearl grey
wheels dark silver

Thanks for that, i will paint it black then, think if it was painted white on a blue car it would really make the rad stand out when it doesnt really need to.

the top part where the bonnet catch is is body colour

Yes the slam panel if you like, my grill has been painted white along with my good wheels, I know the wheels should be dark siver but im having the chrome ring wheeltrims on so wont see much of those
