[Tigers] colors or colours of stuff

	Your request got hi-jacked.

TBON state nothing about most of those items unless I missed them.

I painted the bumper arms either gloss black or semi-gloss black

The back of my bumper is chrome but I can see painting it to reduce
corrosion.  I would consider Rustoleum Silver or maybe Glyptal then a silver
or chrome like topcoat.

I'm helping a friend with a Mk II right now; behind the grill looks more
like flat black to me.  Probably somewhere between egg shell and flat black.
I believe this is original paint but I don't know.  I painted my MK IA gloss
black behind the grille; I like it but it is probably not correct.

I know a number of Tiger owners state that the black behind the grille is
brushed on.   I don't agree with that.  Production dictates doing jobs in
the least amount of time; this would indicate to me masking and spray
painting.   I can see brush strokes for touch ups.  I don't see brush
strokes on the MK II but maybe I need to take a better and closer look.

my tiger has been in the body shop all winter, while I have been in fl
getting better. it has been striped to bare metal, ad a new rf fender welded
in and a new valence welded in along with the lf fender repared better than
the last time. and a new lat 79 hood installed and a fresh coat of paint
sparyed. My friends at the shop say it looks great. Ill find out next week.
now have to put it back together, not big job all mech stuff has been
rebuilt and painted etc. time for glass and chrome, got all new gaskets.
Questions what colour are bumber arms gloss black now, is the back of bumber
paint flat silver, or left alone? satin black behind grille?. It is a mkII,
the tampa bay guys like Nick will remem  ber  the car as craig Hinricks old
car, sorry for bad typing, stroke still affects some
satuff....cheers....phil _______________________________________________
