Title: Painting to original
Post by: MichaelKlavers on May 03, 2020, 23:12:22

Hello,

We are currently painting a 67 250sl white (050)
We would like to know if there are any other areas to be "blackened" other than the obvious front panel behind the front grille?

If any one could please advise if the cowling around the air cleaner was also blackened?


Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Regards,

Michael

Around the defroster vents.

The area low on the body sides (the sills)
The whole air cleaner cowling was not black; just the parts nearest to the front of the car. See photos
