        I masked off from the centerlines of the upper and lower finisher
fastener holes and painted everything back gloss black.   I have seen a
couple Tigers where the black looked more satin black or even flatter then
that.  It really gets hard to tell if it is original weathered paint or
something else.   I don't know exactly what shade of black is original.

Gloss Black was my personal choice at that time.

Remember when repainting,
the area behind the strip is  black not
body
color. In fact the whole area
behind the grill aurraond  is black.  A
mistake
most painters fix.  Rumor is
this area  was not spray painted but hand
brush painted.  Marketing wanted  the
chrome cross bars to appear
to be
floating in a black area.  The same
marketers had the rockers of
the MK II
painted black under the  chrome stide
strips under the stripes
Marketing felt
the effect would  make the MK IIs to
look  lower.

Does anyone have a
picture of this area behind grill around that is suppose to 
be painted
black?  Is gloss black the correct color?  Are there any other areas 
that are
NOT suppose to be painted body color?

Also does anyone know what size is the
hole before rubber grommet is in place 
for the 2 heater core hoses thru the
firewall is suppose to be?

Any other words of wisdom that can be garnered
that should be done before 
painting a 1966 MK1A?

Tiger engineering panhard
rods and chassis kits have been welded in with all 
'metal' holes repaired by
cutting out and welding in new metal.  PPG40 rust 
primer competed after
portions of the car and underbody was sand blasted.  Doors 
and hood was not
sandblasted but hand stripped. Next is the primer coat, this 
week,  and final
blocking being completed so now is the time for anything I 
might be missing
before final primer coat then paint.  Front cross member 
reinforced welds
also being done.

Thanks in advance.
