All 356's I've seen after being restored have had a satin black undercarriage. I have never seen a mint unrestored 356 to know how they were from factory. More than likely thebottom of the car would have had what ever base ( such as primer or sealant to prevent corrosion ) then it would have had...
I love the 356 in full race dress! It's a tuff call for me as to weather I like the old vintage road race look, or a more modern version on the old 356. I know it's tuff to find a cooler color on a 356 (though it was used to death on them) than Porsche Silver Met. That color jsut fits that car...

I got her all buttoned up less the lighting details. Local Hobby shop is out of the transparent colors I need so I'm going to have to wait till next week to finish the lights. But here are the pics of her all together. This was a very fun build, and fitting I finished her up on Veterans Day.
I thought some of you would like to see these old photos of airplanes I recieved recently. All are very cool aircraft and some have super cool cars in them as well. Enjoy.
This is an awesome build so far! I extremely inspired by your work on this!
Feel free to just box that up when your finished and send it to me!!! I have a spot in my display case already picked out! ;D
All kidding aside, this is going to be a beautiful model. Your doing an amazing job and...
