Title: Trunk Lid Bolts..
Post by: BlackoutSteve on February 13, 2011, 10:14:22 PM
Question!
Was the trunk lid painted before or after fitting to the body?
..or more specifically..
Do the trunk lid's mounting bolts have body color on them?
:)

The deck lid was installed and final-fitted in the Body Shop, prior to painting; the hinge-to-lid bolts will be body color.

So we should find primer under the hinges?

Nope - you'll find raw metal under the hinges; they were attached before the body arrived in the Paint Shop.
