Frame is black: not gloss, more of a semi gloss.

Front inner fender is black primer, because it was installed after the fender outer was painted.

Fender inners in the pickup box are the same as the primary body color. The box was built up in the cab shop and traveled through paint as an assembly.

Under the cab and under the pickup box are same as the primary body color, but not good coverage. More like overspray.

Thank you for the facts! We are destined to paint it close to the original.

Hello again Keith!
Sorry to bother again. Our frame is now painted a semi gloss. Do you have any original pictures(brochure) or original video preview of this truck (81-87)? Because we want the same color details as it was new. For example, all details of the engine room and the details of under the truck.
Best regards Ilkka
