I am in the process of repainting my 66SS. the origianl color was aztec bronz but was repainted black a number of years ago. i am now repainting it marina blue. where can i find the correct paint scheme for the engine compartment. i.e. under hood color, firewall, inner fenders etc. some of the pictures i have seen these color matched to the body but i am not sure this is the way they came from the factory. please help!

Everything should be semi gloss balck. Inner fenders, core support, hood bottom & firewall. The only blue in there will be the fender inside panels.

Actually, the firewall should be Eggshell Black and everything else should be Satin Black except the heater box which should be gloss black.
You could paint the firewall satin black as well and I doubt anyone would know the difference! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif
