Was the cowl tag painted or left natural? All of the above on 5-6-7 Chevs. Ed Bittman VCCA#47508 Dade City,Fl

The paint soaked into the insulation and became invisable. The Fisher body tag was not painted. Also it was moved from the almost center of the firewall to the right side mid-year. Gene Schneider
