The pro in your area that I personally know of is Les Cannaday at
Classic Datsun Motorsports (http://www.classicdatsun.com). He's been
in the business for decades.

All engine bays were the body color.  The only area always flat black was th=
at right behind the front grill opening forward of the radiator.  If entire e=
ngine bay is black it was probably rattlecanned to that color.  Sadly, Very c=
ommon for this to be done to so many cars. =20
