inner arches paint

[polsta]

guys, the cars nearing completion bang on que

just a quick one- the 4 inner arches/arch walls should i have them painted body color over the sealant which has all been re done, or leave black ?

at 1st i thought maybe body color, but then as all the floor pans and underside isnt being painted body color, it may best to leave them all black ? right now i cant decide

Black, silver wells would look wierd as fuck, besides itl hardly be seen, if you do it silver thats just another bit you have to obsessively clean or people will point and laugh

[polsta]

thats what ive been thinking verde, at 1st it was a good idea, but thinking keeping it clean and if it gets chipped/scratched etc, so ive started dithering on it

[polsta]

what sort of drill bit would you use ???

the ariel hole has been done, thanks to brian for the dealers guide

[Blitz]

Its best to have it factory. Body colour is the way.

Well thank god for that... phew.

maybe go for a bit of both, i.e silver where you can see so it looks original and then black on the hidden bits ??

[polsta]

What did John do on yours mate ? Hel do whatever I want, it's being done Saturday I think so have to decide , it's hit to be one or the other I think not a bit of both

Id go body colour mate, just personal but I think theres something abit special about seeing body colour inner arches on an old motor, gives the feeling its had a proper full on resto

[polsta]

Keep it comming guys , what would it if been when brand new ? , as it stands its being done body color if I want to change my mind il have to be quick

[jimbom30cab]

go for body colour, if you don't like it them paint it black over.

I do wonder whether you actually read peoples responses to your threads at times.

Yet you still ask........

what would it if been when brand new ?

[harry_p]

They would have been body colour as standard as the stonechip is put on before the paint topcoat.

Well I wouldn't ask if I knew and 1 answer isn't always the case, someone said or I read on here somewhere they were black with a bit of overspray when new, I'm only asking for thoughts it's not too hard is it to just keep out if no thoughts on the actual question

Just echoing what I suspect many people are thinking judging how the aerial thread turned out.

I did actually start typing an opinion along with what my car was like and what I've done to it but couldn't be arsed in the end.

Do the underside body colour, it will be much easier to spot the rust when it starts reappearing !

Fertan.

[polsta]

getting a bit tedious now, ask for a bit of advice and get the same usual suspects (whom you look for a bit of simple advice from) who just wanna turn every thread in to a load of bullsh!t

[jonesy318]

go for body colour, if you don't like it them paint it black over.

Im with this, at least you can then see it and decide if you like it body colour or not
