What colour is the inside of your wing bays?
After discovering that my 411 S5 brake boosters were leaking, I ignored the advice to wash the area with soapy water, because it appeared there was a fair amount of oil/grease build up on the surface of the inside of the wing bay, so I set about it with hydrocarbon de-greaser and a scrubbing brush, with a view to cleaning it thoroughly and treating any surface rust beneath it.
I soon realised that the black gunk was some sort of underseal like substance, which the de-greaser dissolved. As it came off the curved vertical surface where the brake boosters had been mounted, I discovered white paint underneath. My car is currently dark blue, although I think it was once brown.
Just wondering if this white paint is consistent with any other 411s or perhaps any other cars V8 cars. The metalwork looks original, but it seems a bit odd that one section should be painted white.
