Re: Guidance Needed - 1955 Caribbean

Let me give a little more info on the front inner fenders on my Caribbean. The lip on the fender that the hood meets was painted white. Below the lip, it was a flat black with white over spray. It appears when the color coat was applied the fenders were not masked. This has also been the case on many other 55s I have had from Juniors to Seniors. When I repainted my Caribbean, I did the entire fender in White. I undercoated the wheel wells.

Other posts that I have read have stated the inside of the inner fender where entirely the colored the same as the color of the fender and hood. Who is to say which is correct. Seems to be no mind or reason as to some of things that went on at Packard in 1955.
