There was a question in Ken Ehrenhofer's Tech Tips column in Model A News - Mar/Apr 2013 about the paint color used for various 29 CCPU items. The section about the paint question is pasted in below. What I am concerned about is the interior color several items are painted. Ken listed the dash and windshield garnish as painted black along with the door window frames and door garnish. I believe the door items are painted black, like he stated. There seems to be a discrepancy with what the Model A Ford Paint & Finish Guide states for the dash and windshield garnish. On page 9 of the Paint & Finish Guide it states commercial vehicles dashes and windshield garnish is painted body color. Page 9 of the Paint & Finish Guide is pasted below the Model A News information. If someone can post a response as to what was the factory color used on the items listed in the Model A News article, that would be great. That would clear up the conflict between the Model A News information and the Paint & Finish Guide information. I would think the dash and windshield garnish would be painted body color, like coupes and tudors and not black.
