i have a question regarding where the body color stops within the engine compartment. obviously the body paint goes everywhere at the top of the engine compartment on the firewall (under the insulation). it goes throughtout the nose around the radiator + headlights. the question is, as the inner fenders hit the horizontal shelf - does that get painted body color? seems to me it should be body color ... i know that's a section that always gets dirty ... i was wondering if i should leave that black. i do presume that the subframe remains black / dark gray.
 
thanks first of all ... i figured that ... just wanted to be sure. with a car that is currently black, you never know what is body or other color. if i remember correctly, the only black metal in the engine compartment is the cover over the heater blower
