paint question in reference to the Deflector Shield on a 1967 GTX

[Michael Maresca]

Good Morning All, I am looking for as many responses as possible to see if we can agree on whether the Deflector Shield that stretches across the front of the radiator in between the radiator and front bumper should be painted the color of the car or black primer. I am trying to replicate what the factory did. My car was assembled in L.A., CA. I have a 440, 4 Spd., if that makes a difference at all.

I will look today, but to the best of my recollection, its body color. I have a semi survivor 67 GTX.

Gloss black

Its called a stone shield

I would say body color with maybe a little black overspray from core support blackout.

This panel bolts to the body and then got painted with the car. Then the core support blackout over the top. All 66-67 Belvedere. A guy was parting a 66 and a 67 cars both front bumpers gone and the body colored panels shown in the sun. Look where the attaching bolts were and no paint.

Most all other mopars these bolt to the bumper brackets and are black.

My 67 GTX semi survivor car is body color, but my 67 Coronet R/T survivor car is chassis black. Of the 4 67 Plymouth B bodies I have in this building, all are body color. The 66 Plymouth B bodies are all chassis black.

Thank you Jerry. This is all good intel and does match what my car has. The reason I asked is because I do know that it was painted in the mid 80’s and wasn’t sure if they followed factory specs.
