UNABASHED Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 do you mean on the underside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
was8v Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Should be painted same as the top! Maybe they have just not bothered to lacquer the underside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harman350z Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Same as my JDM, the underside is not lacquered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmarky Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Prety sure they dont paint the underside on the blade cars, think the original bonnet from my car is a sort of matt looking grey on the underside. They probably come this colour originally and so would only paint theem for the darker colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stesrg Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Yes underside .....

Same as my JDM, the underside is not lacquered. Same this end of the world, doesn't matter which colour. So it matches the engine bays as they don't continue the exterior into the bay.
