Hey frenchblue, I dont think anybody would even notice or care what the inner fenders of that beast in your last post. All I noticed was the huge fan belt and that funny aftermarket air cleaner. DO you know what I mean. Darren

From the factory they were indeed Semigloss, Chassis black, or satin black (all 3 the same).
But I do like them painted the color of the truck. I don't like them gloss black. Just my .02 Darren

Pickup a can of Rust-oleum Hammered Black and try it. Drys to a semigloss and has a textered look. And easy to touch-up and blends well.

Do any of you recommend just a spray can (rattle can) to paint. I'm building a show truck and would think a professional gun should be used......what say you?
