Hi Tr3 people about 33 yeas ago, I stripped a 1958 tr3 down to bare metal with paint remover. The vehicle had a couple coats of red enamel and the factory Apple green paint, done in Lacquer. Anyways, I cannot remember what the base color of the engine compartment was. I left the engine in the car and had the car painted Midnight Blue and then rattle canned the engine compartment black. I still have the car and now it is BRG with a black engine compartment. I am thinking the engine bay was black from the factory with an Apple green lacquer body? I understand that the engines bays and the body color where the same; however, that lacquer came off hard and I just cannot remember the engine bay color. Has anyone seen an engine bay on tr3 from the factory painted black that is different from body color?
