So I am just starting to clean the underside of the cab on my truck. Went outside and wiped in a couple of spots. Looks like black like the underside of the hood, with a mix of undercoat. The backside of the bedside (fleetside)and the fenders is black also. I have a Freemont built truck, and the firewall is body color. I can see body color on the firewall with the front wheels off, and black from the inner fenders, and some undercoating. If you are doing a factory restoration, you will probably have body color overspray over the black underside of the cab. Without digging further, need some help from others on the order of paint. Was cab exterior painted after fender install, when was the bed painted? Submariner616. great questions!
