Style Points Question

[John_Heard]

Thought I'd get some input from you guys...

Getting ready to paint the firewall here soon, it'll be the color of the car. But I'm undecided what color to paint the radiator support. I've seen em' both ways, car color or satin OEM black. Not sure which way to go? This is something that tends to get scratched up easy while working on the car, the satin black would be easier to touch up but might not look as good as the car color.

Thoughts???

satin black.

I like the entire car to be black so that any touch-ups, anywhere on the car, are just a rattle can away

I'd go black on the core support. It'll disappear behind the grill better and be easier to keep looking nice.

[John_Heard]

I agree on the through the radiator view, black is best there however I've got my grill blocked off so that doesn't really matter much. I'm leaning towards the black... Added voting we'll see what the popular opinion is haha

[Craig W.]

Did you find any gains from block off the grill?

[John_Heard]

Not that I noticed really. The end plan was to use the block off setup as a ram air inlet going to the carb that went over the radiator, but I haven't got around to that yet.

Go Black for all the above reasons.

Black

I guess Ill be the oddball. If your painting the firewall the color of the car I would do the core support the same .

Go for the black core support. Unless you paint the rest of under the hood stuff the same (like the frame; a-arms; steering componants; ect.ect.) It just won't look right. Besides the black makes everything else look good!

rattle can Black..but have kris do it so if any one complains, well you know

[TubbedTruck67]

Id go blue if the firewalls body color it would look best having the core suport body color too in my opinion. Thats how my car is and I dont really have any chiping scratching problems from working on the car at the track.

[camaroman9]

well, atleast i'm not the only person that voted blue..

We build a lot of street rods and customs so its either body color for everything or black under the hood for everything. Just my .02
