Inner Fender Paint

Did Studebaker use body color inner fender paint at the factory? Was it
more of a satin color? I am wondering what to paint my NOS inner
fenders on my 1966 Cruiser with.

I probably should not have said inner fenders. I mean the area on the
back of the fender in the wheel well that would be visible looking up
in the wheel well.
