I got a 1968 Fury III convertible and I wonder what colour the outer inner fenders should be. The inner should be body colour but the outers on mine look flat black. I am painting it now and need to know.

The firewall side of the splash panel is matte black. The side above the tire has black matte also. The splash panels or fender wells, if you prefer, were installed after the body was painted but they were frequently over sprayed with body color as the result of a later repaint, usually as a result of body damage in service. Rear wheel houses were painted body color. Note that many restored examples exist with body color on the fender wells, so I suspect that this may be an area where the treatment varied from plant to plant. I would repaint what ever color is on the base coat as that is probably factory. Yours appear to have been matte black.

I just painted mine. On my 67 newport the smaller parts were black and the larger wells were body color top and bottom.
 
Outer half that that you dont see which bolts to outside fender is black.
Inner fender half that you do see with hood open is body color..
Hope this helps
 
I'm pretty sure 69 and newer had matte black and 68 and older were body color.
