Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2014 10:13 pm Post subject: Top frame color question and others |
|
|
I am trying to figure out what color goes where. I have an original Inca red car and wondered if the top frame was also red or black. Mine looks red like red oxide primer but it was also painted black. I also read somewhere that the bumper brackets and over rider tubes were also Inca red. Any ideas. I am not going to do a tan top. I think the black looks better but I want everything else as close as possible, color wise. I searched this thread on the pages listed, if someone answered it already a point in the right direction would be appreciated. |

Top frame, bumper brackets, glove box, inspection covers & fuel tank were all painted body color. |
My original Inca Red 56 vert (unfortunately painted black by PO)
Here's a picture of the original Inca red painted cover between the tank and wiring cover.
Only other Inca Red parts left are the top frame and all bumper brackets and override tubes.
