Question about stock paint scheme...

[ArticRider]

Are the metal parts inside the engine bay on the left and right supposed to match the color of the car? Say, if you have a red car, the metal inside would be red? I assume the same goes for the metal that you can see through the vents at the bottom of the windshield? I'm just asking cause i'm paranoid because i had my car sent in for body work at the dealership and am worried that they would screw stuff up... they've done it before(they painted the part on the underside of the passenger's side door that wasn't supposed to be painted... the jack stand... it didn't match the other side of the vehicle... it's supposed to be black right?) Also, inside the front wheels... there's a part where's it's a black plastic material and near the front where it's supposed to be showingthe metal... again matching the color of the car... right?

BTW, I have a 2001 Camaro.

Mine matches.

My engine bay paint doesn't match perfectly, but I figured they'd use a more heat resistant paint.

OK, cool thanks... looks like the car will be fine... I am just paranoid and very picky about my car when it comes to handing it over to the dealership... sometimes those guys really don't know what they're doing...believe me, they've screwed up stuff on my before.

BTW, I have a 2001 Camaro convertible, white with black top... not that it makes a difference right ? :D

I would've checked my friend's stock 2002 Camaro, but he ain't here right now and neither is his car.

I'm pretty sure they used the same paint on the interior of the engine bay as they do on the exterior of the car. When the car is painted on the assemly line, it is heated up several hundred degrees to make the paint cure. After that, the exterior is clearcoated. Engine bays and the underbody is not.
