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 |

After spending an inordinate amount of time removing the black undercoat from my -6 I didn't find a gray color undercoat, it is more of a yellow/beige. The primer is a light gray but not the undercoat. Does the factory gray undercoat age to this yellow/beige color? My underside looks the same as the piece Scotty had in an earlier post side by side with a gray blob of new undercoat. Are there any products that are close to the yellow/beige undercoat?
