'70 Cowl tag rivets and attachment

**BARN FIND** · #1 06-17-2008, 03:27 AM

I have always wondered, is the tag supposed to be painted or bare?

I would think it would be painted...

Thanks. I will assume that the firewall was sprayed prior to the cowl tag attachment.

My 70 Gibb car. I took the car to bare metal. If I remember right the tag was painted the color of the car then the black was sprayed on the firewall?? I found copper on the tag which was the org. color of the car. I never took a picture of it now I wish I had.

I think they were painted body color after the tag was on.

The tag is put on before the painting process; some also have a wad of caulk inside of the rivet. Some have it; some don’t

I agree with the tag first, my original paint car has Hugger Orange on the tag I think from the overspray in the cowl area.
