Re: Mine is painted

Different JG's say different things - the '65 JG says they weren't painted, and the '67 JG says they were. I had two '65 L-79's, one bought brand new and one bought two years later, and neither one of them had the intake painted.

Re: Mine is painted

I just tried some lacquer thinner on mine. Didn't phase the paint but it cleaned off some of the dirt.
