69 GT500 paint detail questions

[jimhyc]

I'm getting a little touch up work done on the Shelby at a local classic car paint shop. They do good work but want to make sure on the details before I drop it off.
1- front lower valance has a slight crack and getting that repainted. Does the inner side of it get painted deep maroon or something else? Currently it's a satin black on the inner side. I've seen photos of the plant pictures with the front end assembled at paint. So is the mounting hardware to fender aprons painted or natural finish?
2- what is the correct bolt and finish for the fenders to inner aprons?
3- what is the correct paint color for the filler between the front bumper and grille.
I've looked at lot of pictures and did some searching but couldn't find any definitive answers.
I'm only getting the top of the fenders blended from some scratches and the damage to the valance. This has been bugging me since I bought the car.
Thanks ...

1- before the front clip that was already assembled was attached to the car the back side of the front valance was spray painted a semigloss black. The black spray carried over to the attached backside of the front fenders on both sides where they attached to the front valance. 2- Fender bolts were zinc silver. AMK products sells correct ones.3- The correct paint color for the filler between the front bumper and grille is the same color as the grille since it was all painted assembled together at the same time. The color is close to dark argent (same color as used on the 70 Mach I side panels).

So the valance would not have any body color overspray on the back?

Yes it would have but then it would have been painted over (for the vast majority of cars - read very early) that overspray so it would not be seen there but on other areas not covered with the black out but still reached by the body color. From different angles attempting to coat well other surfaces.
