This was usually a sloppy, free hand procedure not fully covering the entire tray...and many times ended up all over the fender apron as well. Seen it on plenty of 70 E-Bodies....not sure if the procedure was taken past the 70 model year...the cowl black-out surely wasn't.

I would like to think it was the original tray but it may have been replaced prior to me obtaining the car. I tried to randomly scratch through the black paint to see if maybe someone painted it black over the original body color, but could not determine anything but black.I want to replace the tray with a new one and wanted it to be the right color before I install it. Thanks to all for the input on this issue .

The original 71B's that I had and seen had body color trays. Alot of cars got the tray spary bombed over the years. 72 Satellite Sebring Plus 440, 72 Dart 5.9 4-spd, 68 Valiant, 73 W200, 78 D100 sb, 78 D200, 98 DAKOTA, .
