Is the firewall painted black or the same colour as the car. Same question for the inside of the fenders, black or the same colour as the car. Is there a website that explains how the car was painted coming out of the factory? Thanks
All of those areas are black, somewhere around 60% gloss. This info is not published anywhere, but questions about engine compartment colors are asked again and again. Try the search function, you should get lots of results. Color is only on the top portions of the fenders that extend down into the engine compartment.
The search window is a little cumbersome until you figure out the date settings. In my opinion, they are backwards from what you generally see, but you will get the hang of it.
Also look through tons of pictures. Many members (including myself) have a lot of picture links in their signature area.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!

PM me an e-mail address and I will sent to you two High Performance Pontiac articles from 1999 that chronicle the concours restoration of a Plum Mist '67 RA I car that used to belong to PHS head Jim Mattison. They will provide you all the correct finishes for many of the parts on your car.
