Regarding the foot boxes, in response to a post I made long ago I quickly found out that some ERA owners do in fact paint their white (as original) fiberglass foot boxes to match the exterior color. It's an owner's preference. Originals were as molded white.
Same with the aluminum panels - originals were uncoated aluminum and most leave them that way. Especially on FFR cars a number of owners have had them anodized and powder coated in a variety of colors. I coated mine with a clear marine sealer - Sharkhide. There's a strong argument that applying anything to the aluminum is just a maintenance and repair headache - bare aluminum holds up just fine.
