from the factory would the Under Hood be painted the same colour as the car on my 67 Beaumont ??
i am about to strip and repaint my Hood i bought from a chevelle , and presently this one is black on the Under side
i imagine the same story on a Hood as the firewall on american built cars ???
thanks floks

My 66 was painted both under the hood and the firewall. (As we're the trunks. The American built had "sparkle")

Underhood should be same as body color, and firewall should be same as body color,and trunk floor is same as body color on a 1966 Beaumont anyway. I assume a 1967 would be the same.

Maybe your hood was replaced by a u s hood or painted in the past . This makes me wounder if the canadian and u s chevelles hoods where painted black under where is Cameron when we need him

What happens if you paint the firewall black like a American Chevelle ? will car still run? and the trunk same thing?

No it won't, and on top of that, it won't be Canadian any more! That would be like making Stompin' Tom sing someone else's song, it would be wrong wrong wrong...

Imagine Stompin' Tom belting out "Sweet Home Alabama".
The underside of my hood has been repainted & is black. If I ever repaint, I might take it back to body colour but it looks fine as-is IMO. And I can't see it when I'm driving!
Firewall is body colour. The trunk is all original paint (Aztec Bronze).

my car hasn't had a respray, firewall is original, still has chalkmarks from factory so i'm guessing the black on underside of hood is also factory. Wasn't there a thread on this before?
so black it is , i ts ak s description approuved by the guru
i will go with that
the reason i was asking is because i bought a chevelle Hood from some guy in the states a couple of years ago so possibly this Hood came from a u s chevelle , and with all this black / body color firewall story i wanted to be shure
i will overspray lightly the inner edges from my top paint ( body color )
i love this place |||||||||||||
