Mike65 475 Report post Posted January 15 I had a 1970 Coupe as my first car & first Mustang & IIRC I think they were a charcoal gray color almost like the color of the dash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicfreg 773 Report post Posted January 17 Maxum, I have a couple of these originals, and they are black plastic, unpainted. You can soak them in Evapo-rust as well, to remove any road dirt/grime, etc. I used the SEM plastic paint process to re-coat them, and they came out fine. Just a caution....Your car in this picture looks good, everything is nice and aligned. You would need to take the grill, stone shield, moldings, front valence, inner fender splash shield, and front fenders off to get at these to paint them. So, if you are taking your car apart, have fun. If not, I personally would not go through all that trouble to paint them. Not sure if you can mask off and paint them with everything installed. If you take them off, keep the screws. They are kind of unique and install at a weird angle. Good luck! Vic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I've got the answer to my question. They were unpainted from the factory. I'll probably do the same when I put the new ones in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
