  What paint color is used on the inner fender panels
of my '38 coupe? body color or gloss black?

  Gloss black. Answers to most questions about your '38 can be found in the V8 Club's '38 - '39 Ford Book available on this website and at many Ford Parts suppliers. See the link below.

  Thanks. I have the book and the answer is in there, just not where I was looking!

  Although it may depend on specific year(s), I remember some discussion in threads regarding the question of whether it was actually satin or high gloss black.

  Yes, and that basically was a matter of how the suppliers handled things on their end. Ford had more control over in-house painting.
