Removed all the 8mm sheet metal screws. The lower front (stone shield) panel, under the bumper, was joined to the upper panel with what looked like a bead of Mortite caulk. Nice and round between the two parts, with a sealing strip between them.
Not shown on realoem.com, of course. Any experience out there with what the stuff is ? Obvious it's to keep water from getting between the two panels, and paintable.
Unless we just use black silicone or roofing caulk (on a black car ).
Front lower panel caulk strip (?)
Not sure what it is exactly, but you're going to play hell trying to match it. I would not use silicone as it's unpaintable, I would probably use one of the polyurethanes, but not silicone. I feel like I have a pretty steady hand, but...
