Correct Paint 71 Jams/Trunk/Eng

[GotaT]

I have a 71 Targa 911 and was wondering the original color of the door jams and the INTERIOR part of the door that barely shows (just around the inner door panel). The trunk area, Engine bay and under the fenders....

What were the correct colors for these parts.. Body color or black?

If its any help, my 1970t has body color in the front trunk, black in the engine compartment and the doors and jams are all body color.

Yeap, door jams and trunk were body color 100% , I thought engine compartment was body color as well? My original 71 had body color in the engine bay. However I saw an original early 912 that was black. So I am not 100% sure on the engine compartment.

Any others can chime in on these ?...

I have seen some later model 911';s with a matte black around the inner part of the door ..

On my 71 the tub is all body color with satin black painted over in the engine compartment ,footwells and parts of the trunk. S

untill they used 2.4 engines the engine compartment is black satin

[GotaT]

What about the trunk? and Under the fenders?

Until the used 2.4's?

Me: early build 1972 (9112110339) , Black engine bay, brushed on from memory. Silver jambs & trunk.

mine, a 70 911T, body color throughout including engine bay.

73' was the year they changed to body color in the engine bay. 72' was still black over body color in the bay.

Ok, kinda on topic.......What is the correct floor pan color for the bottom side of a 70 911t? Im having mine done in the wurth stuff (sks or something) and need to know if it should have body color over the undercoating. Thanks.

I researched this for my 71E resto, on Pelican and the Early S Registry. The consensus is, for the 71,.....Trunk is body color, engine compartment is black, underside and wheelwells are black.

[GotaT]

what color silver is that? Looks GREAT

GotaT,
Thanks....This is a 71E, painted Arctic Silver. A later model year 911 silver than originally painted, but a very beautiful color. The car was painted black (not very well), when I bought it and, I was going to paint it Silver Metallic 8080 , but then i saw Bob Tilton's early car and emailed him regarding the color of his car....and that's how I ended up with Arctic Silver. Complete, windows out, bare metal, pro paint job by one of the best in my area.

Regards,

Anyone know what is correct for a 68 912, body color or black in the trunk area? My car looks like it is black but there could be color under the black so a PO could have applied additional undercoat/stone guard.

Continuing this for a '71... What about under sides of fenders? Front? Rear?

Fenders are finished in black with pebble finish.

Guaranteed, I was at the factory in 1971.
