I know the GT hood is supposed to be painted black behind the grille. When I painted my hood years ago I painted that part black. Then today as I was watching my screen saver pictures, I saw this. What do you think?

GT Hawk hood painting ??

Perhaps an early pilot production picture.
I have owned a few Gran Turismo Hawks, back when they were maybe 8 to 10 years old and thus pretty original.
They all had satin black paint on the sheet metal feature from the earlier Hawk grille that shows through the ‘62 - ‘64 grille.
We see a lot of repainted Hawks where the grille is removed for a total repaint thus showing this painted band if not painted satin black again.

Actually, I think it's a reflection from the flash camera. It wasn't a flat black, but semi-flat that can still reflect light. It sure doesn't look as bright as the white of the car to me.Bez Auto Alchemy
