Hello everyone,

My 71 is Red with a white vinyl top that is currently off the car. My question is in regards to the molding that goes around the top.

What color should this molding be? Should it be painted white? Brushed aluminum/shiny?

On my car, most of it seems to be painted white, but there are also parts where it has a brushed aluminum look to it.

Hopefully those pictures worked.

Thanks

The only ones I've seen had dark tops. They were painted flat black with the high part of the profile being brite bare finish. 71-72 rear panel trim was similar finished. More research is needed on the white top. I just checked the paint charts. I believe they indicate white trimmed molding was available.
