Title: Colors under the hood
Post by: Carl Eidsness on July 21, 2017, 08:34:10 AM
To best restore my '48 Kaiser Special I would like to know what the paint colors were for the items below.  Thanks in advance for any response.
1.  Firewall
2.  Fenderwells (side visible to left and right of motor
3.  Block
4.  Head
5.  Radiator
6.  Generator

I'm guessing a lot of this may have been black, but would prefer to know instead of guessing.

A few years old but likely still valid

Ya........ timely too since I had a recent phone call from one of the supposedly (and unabashedly self proclaimed) well known Aero experts (coincidentally from the east) to tell me the part I seek never existed. Then I pointed out the part numbers to him. Then he said they were never produced because he hadn't seen them. Then I pointed him to a car that currently had 7 pieces of the 8 part set. Then he said finding the one missing part would be the proof.

I was polite, we spoke at length and I had some more questions so we traded emails. I sent him 2 prospects looking for an Aero like he's selling and 3 emails................. never heard from him again.
 
Disbelief is the only descriptive word from that encounter I can put here. I can't imagine someone like that ever being qualified to judge anything.
