Kenrow Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Does anyone have a photo of a properly painted front valance? I believe the top edge is body color, the mid-section satin black, and the bottom section body color. Is that correct? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerrytr5 Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I thought it was all body colour. For the sake of clarity, are we talking 5 or 250? When you say mid-section is that the part behind the grille? Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenrow Posted July 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I was particularly interested in the 250 but it would be interesting to know what the 5 had. General consensus here in the USA they were hand painted behind the grill with a brush. Quite sloppily at th at (see photo with drips through holes). Some believe this only applied to the lighter color cars, the dark colors remained body color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
