Title: Inside of front guard coating Post by: texmorton on September 14, 2021, 11:41:08 AM G'day again,
I have done a quick search and nothing came up re: what was the factory finish inside the front guards; painted body colour, body deadener or chassis black?? Thanks, Al Title: Re: Inside of front guard coating Post by: Trevor_B on September 14, 2021, 05:03:49 PM Hi Al,
While you are considering the correct finish to use, here is something else to think about... If your guards have been worked a lot, say to remove rust and/or dints, the metal can be thinner than factory which can cause starring in the paintwork from stones being thrown up by the tyres. I have seen this on a car that had been resprayed on months beforehand. I guess this would be less of an issue if you never travel on gravel roads but still a remote chance on sealed roads too. I decided to use dynamat type material directly above the tyre just in case... Just a thought.

So, underbody black or chassis black would suffice. Ken Title: Re: Inside of front guard coating Post by: Errol62 on September 14, 2021, 10:06:19 PM Stone guard or body schutz will reduce any stone impact
