I just want to get this right so I'm asking what might be a simple question, but what is the correct color for the drip moldings on a 30 tudor? I know the judging standards say aluminum is body color, steel is black, but from pictures I see it doesn't appear to be consistent. The car is Elkpoint/Kewanee Green. I'm leaning toward black. Is there a right answer? Did 30 tudors come with steel and aluminum? Car is an early 30, built in March. Any help would be appreciated.

I painted mine satin or semi gloss black to match the top material. I think this would be correct. I liked it and it didn't really matter if it was correct or corrong.

I believe they should be black. I think that is the steel that the JS are referring to. The aluminum it refers to could be the trim around the opening,at the edge of the roof material, which , logic says, would be body color. ?
