Painting a 356TB5 1960 Drauz

#1 Post by Fouad Geara »

Anyone out there with an original 356 Roadster??
Want to know if the engine compartment was painted as the color of the car or just BLACK????

Need info ASAP since we are ready to paint.
I want my car to be restored as it was out of the factory.

Thanks

black, not glossy. try to contact this person: https://rennlist.com/forums/356-forum/7 ... dster.html original owner low mileage Roadster. engine compartment is black Or do an author search and contact Roy Smalley viewtopic.php?f=1&t=43520 He has been restoring these cars for a long time. In the link I posted he is there with an email link. And if you search the internet you can find Roadster ads of restored cars for sale showing the engine compartment like this ad: http://www.fantasyjunction.com/cars/175 ... 4-Cylinder
