Another Paint Question
« on: July 21, 2021, 09:52:44 AM »
Are the plugs on the door supposed to be painted the body color ?
What about the plug on the front of the rear 1/4 panels and the plugs in the trunk ?

With the exception of some very early Dearborn cars built within the first few weeks of production, they would be painted body color.  There is a thin foam seal that goes around the outer edge also.

Thanks Charles.
Does that go for the rubber trunk plugs and the rubber one on in the door jam on the front of the Quarter's ?
I thought that they were unpainted ?

All of the rubber/plastic plugs were installed after the car was painted.
