Title: Trunk lid bolt colour
Post by: Almostthere on October 04, 2024, 09:03:41 AM
Can anyone confirm whether the bolts that secure the trunk lid to the trunk hinge are painted body color? Since the lids were installed at AO Smith after the car was painted at Ford, I'm not sure if Smith painted the retaining bolts as well as the trunk lid. My car is close to getting sprayed and I need to confirm. Thanks

Smith did not paint the hinge to decklid bolts, they were phosphate


The lower bolts hinge to body are painted bodycolor
