61 Splash Shields

[Dennis C.]

Hi All,

I have a few questions regarding the '61 splash shields.

1. I am painting a pair of splash shields and was planning on using Rustoleum semi gloss black. Would this be a correct choice? I looked in the archives and saw semi gloss paint mentioned but there was no confirmation.

2. The judging guide indicates the splash shields were installed prior to undercoating and they would have undercoating over spray on them. But the AIM has a note indicating "protective coating entire splash plate". How much undercoating should there be and how much of the shield should be covered?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Dennis

Semi gloss black is correct to my knowledge. That is what I painted. As for the undercoating, I would say that it varied a lot from more or less total coating to very little. Most of the under coating on my car was on the back of the headlights.
