Re: [FWDLK] Black paint on inner trunk on eBay '58 Dodge

Interesting. That rational makes sense. For what it is worth, I know the NOS
body panels for a '46 Pontiac I owned were black.

This topic has visited this list from time to time. As I recall, gray, or
some shade they of seemed to be the most common trunk color. I think it was
mentioned that the paint used was a mixture of all the left over paint, thus
the color. Not sure if that if correct, but that is what I remember being
mentioned.

I'll bet because I've seen this before that the trunk lids were replaced by
the dealer due to improper fit from the factory. ( Remember the problem
with the trunks leaking? ) The underside and topside were painted to keep
the parts from rusting up while sitting in the warehouse. After placement
the outside was then painted the color of the car.

My thoughts, Reggie
