This '71 for sale on ebay has a body painted bracket behind the black lower grille section. What color was it painted at the factory? Thank you.

Mine is the same color as the factory paint (dark gold) but not clear coated. No clue if it’s factory though (it’s not even in the car anymore lol
 
Should really be body color with some blackout sprayed over it so as to not let the bracket be seen through the grill.

Same color as the body.
 
Nice colour ! Is that the same car that’s in Colorado ?
 
Dodge front blackouts for 71... should be the same for Plymouth ( sorry the low quality but is the way it was sent to me )

That's good, because factory paint in 1971 was single stage. Nothing should be clear coated.

Oh ok neat. I had no idea, the body has been through several paint jobs from previous owners so I’ve never seen the original color other than on the bracket which was in the trunk when I bought the car haha
