We need a definitive answer as to which paint colors and other materials were utilized when our coupes were assembled. I am starting this thread to gather proof as to what is correct. Please reply if you know for a FACT which is correct, I am not looking for speculation. I have seen many different combinations, just look at BaT, but there are very few truly original coupes still out there. It is possible that City Pack cars are different from Lightweight coupes as well. I have talked to a few knowledgeable coupe owners as a start.
Ultra-lightweight CSL:
Front and Rear Valance: Satin Black, no body Schutz
Wheel Wells: Body Color, no body Schutz
Underbody: Body Color, no undercoating
CSL City Pack:
Front and Rear Valance: Body Color with Schutz
Wheel Wells: Black with Schutz
Underbody: Body Color
CS/CSA/CSi:
Front and Rear Valance: Body Color with Schutz
Wheel Wells: Body Color with Schutz (several early 2800CS reported to have black wheel wells)
Underside: Grey Undercoat over khaki primer
Once we have consensus I will delete this thread and create a FAQ thread.
