Painted trunk parts
« on: September 14, 2008, 10:06:19 PM »
My car is in the body shop for the final preparations and body alignment before paint.  I was wondering if someone might help with what was painted the body color in the trunk.  I know the inside of the lid and the hinges are body color but I was wondering about the brackets that hold the torsion bars that is welded to the wheel tubs.  Is the inside of the tail panel painted too? 
Thanks, Joe

Very little body color in the trunk other than the deck lid hinges and supports - most of it is just primer with spatter paint over it. Photos below are of my original-paint '69 Z/28.

John,
Buy the way,  I forgot to ask what color the spatter paint is.  It looks like it might be Aqua.  What sets the color choice? Anything particular?
Thanks again!

It's aqua and gray - it was that color regardless of exterior color.
