I was looking through t-55 photos on primeportal last night and noticed that the underside of the engine deck screen covers were painted a red primer color. I thought they would be painted same color as exterior so that when opend they would not stand out. Now I beleieve the subject of the photos was not an in srvice vehicle and that mat be why the red primer color. I am getting ready to paint my T-55AM2B and have it displayed with the pannels open so I would like to know so I can try to be accurate with my painting.
thank in advance

Ronnie,

AFAIK the engine compartment of T-55 was painted light grey:
