PANEL BEHIND FRONT GRILL COLOUR?

Post by 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?

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.
