Default Painting a Victoria

The question is,as the judging standards are not clear regarding Victorias.
Does the door jam, A and B pillar and upper door header get painted lower
body color?
Or, should the upper body color break line follow into the door jam, A and B
pillar and upper door header and get painted upper body color???
Thanks in advance Don Vagasky

While I agree the guidelines are not clear on this, It appears that they are one or the other. That is all upper or all lower.

"TRIM
The trim color refers to the secondary color used on
the belt mouldings and/ or the upper body on Model
A's. The trim color was applied only to the raised
portion of the mouldings; it did not extend into the
door post and door jamb. The only exceptions to
this were the few Sedans and all Cabriolets where
the interior was painted the upper body color. On
these vehicles, the entire door post and jamb were
upper body color. The interior panels, as well as the
door jambs and door posts on Town Cars and Taxis
were painted with black lacquer."

So are Victorias "the few Sedans" that were painted the upper body color. And are we to assume that if your car is not one of the few Sedans and all Cabriolets that were painted the upper body color, they are painted lower body color?
