Engine bay colour
Engine bay colour
Heres one for the trainspotters out there
Should the engine bay be painted in black or body colour on a T6 B??
I've seen pics of both - may as well get it right.
My guess is body colour up to the lip where the the decklid sits - then black in bay area
Same question for bonnet area too
The truth is out there, if you know where to look

Rust and rot - seems like a common thread
Body colour would seem correct to me- at the factory - easier to paint engine bay body colour whilst painting the rest of the car
But black looks very common
Anyone else

Doing some home work and thinking back it must be the body colour..
Because it was the easy way to do the work also my trunk area is the same colour as the car. But I only say I see what you mean when i see cars that have been resto'd and they are satin black....... go with the body colour it looks the best anyway..

I'm thinking go body colour - by the time all the sound deadening is in it'll look black anyway

Looks like blacks got the upper hand at the moment
Anyone got the Registry article - I've only just joined - not got a mag yet
Weird to think the factory would have gone to the trouble of painting black -

same as- its black.
My paint under the bonnet is black too- and thats def never been touched.
my floor pan looks like it was blue at some point- but me thinks that was actually a metallic hammerite stuff, and not factory applied.
All the 356's I have seem have had black painted insides to the boot and bonnet, with black sound deadening.
