Fun fact about Bayside Blue

Did you know that most Bayside Blue Skylines came off the production line with a black chassis?

The exterior panels were painted blue while most engine bays are black with a bit of overspray around the edges.

Any idea why?

I suspect it’s a tougher paint coat in the engine bay - my gloss white, and my mate’s pearlescent white are both matte in the bay. It could be something to do with blue only being offered metallic.

I noticed there was a V-Spec II with a blue engine bay but it doesn’t look right.
Do you know why they’re black?

That’s one of those fun facts that everyone should know.
