My car is just about to be painted and I need some answers to a few questions.

What color is the inside of the front fenders supposed to be. I think they should be the same color as the body and then the inner fenders will be 60% gloss black. Is this right?

Also, what color should the side of the cowl area be? What I mean is , if you were at the cowl tag and then wrapped around the side. Should this area also be the body color?

Does the black on the cowl area go right to the base of the windshield or is there another cut off point?

Any other suggestions or comments from anyone would be appreciated.

Original fenders look to be black on the inside with overspray covering them. Thats the same way we do them. I paint the inside where you can see inside the door jamb pretty decent though. The side of the cowl will be body color with light black overspray, not much at all. I break my black at the part of the metal where the dash panel starts and over to the part where the cowl and sides meet there is a edge. I am going to try to send you a picture of a GTO that we just did this on. Its all the same even if it a "other" brand.
