I tried extending a thread on the originality forum, but not much luck there:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=152778 Anyone have photos of an original or 100% properly restored 914-6 showing the rear fender wells and bottom side of the rear trunk? It seems like black undercoating is never right as it was just applied by the dealers or ports (or something), and besides it's ugly. So, it seems like the good options for these areas appears to be: 1. metal -> primer -> body color paint 2. metal -> primer -> grey PVC undercoating 3. metal -> primer -> grey PVC undercoating -> body color paint Or ? -Steve |

That's the gun I used restoring my 1970 911S to get the correct "finish".
It took a while but looks very close. I used wurth grey before it wasn't available. My original 914/6 doesn't have quite the same finish on the floor pan that the 911 does but the fender wells are very similar and coated with black undercoat that over the years I have been able to chip away to the original paint. Looks much better that way. |
