Greetings!
I've been trying to figure out which shade of black paint to use on my doors on the inside. I'm guessing gloss black? Someone before used body color and I know that is not right.
Same with the front of the radiator support S/O put body color. I thought is was suppose to be a flat black? Is it the whole front of the radiator support and inner fender face? On many restored cars, I see the lower radiator support painted body color. Is this correct?
I looked at original factory photos but the angle or light is never right to tell.
Last, door striker and body receiver, are these painted or natural metal?
Thanks! CAC

Thanks guys, that helps a lot! I couldn't tell for sure form the pics, but the inside fenders behind the headlights appear to be body color, is that right? Also the bottom of the radiator support that is visible from under the bumper, it looks flat black, is that right?
Thanks again!

This really helps! I can see that the inside of the valance and also the valance cross member are flat black too, as well as the grill supports and hood striker tray. Man what an awesome Charger you have. Mine was original before the last owner who chose the wrong body shop to redo the car. They took everything down to metal, lost half the bolts, didn't neutralize the rust, and made a pretty big mess. The owner was disgusted with having paid them 15K and it starting to rust after 6 months. He then left it sitting outside for 15 years without putting the motor back in, till I bought it. I wish I could have 5 minutes with an original car to photograph bolts, fasteners and paint marks to get it right. Thanks for the pics, CAC
