Default Re: Color help - '35 pickup

Heard,
The standard paint color for 1935 pickup fenders is body color (all surfaces). In 1934 the standard paint color on pickups was black and body color was an option. Ford changed this practice in 1935 so assuming your pickup got the standard 1935 paint treatment, they should be body color on all surfaces.

The half-moon shaped inner fender aprons which fit between the frame and the lip of the fender were black from the factory. These inner fender panels could be painted a different color for fleet orders or for extra money. Not many ever got this treatment from the factory.
