Morris Minor Owners Club

What is the general thoughts on the colour of the radiator support?
I only paint the top part body colour and then paint the thinner sheet metal along side the radiator black. This way, through the grille everything is black. Especially on light colour cars, I just don't think seeing the body color through the grille is correct. All my original grille supports had little to no paint on the subject area and definitely not body colour. Perhaps there was only overspray from when the top part was painted body colour.
Just wondering what other owners think?

mine was body colour.. but at the end of the day it is what makes you happy, unless you are going for concours then the correct answer is was makes the judges happy

top body colour the rest was black

Well that clears it up doesn't it? Two opposing replies. I like it black, so that's the way I lean. Thanks

Mines all black

original way

I was going to paint mine black behind the grille as I prefer this to body colour - problem was, time overtook me and as I had to paint the top panel body colour anyway, it was easier just to continue with the spray gun and do the rest.

Mine is just painted all black, the car is grey. I think it'll still look quite nice when the grey bits are all fitted again.
