My car is still in the paint shop and I need to know some detail how the finish ought to be.
The T-tops have a metal edge, which is Stainless Steel, I guess.
The paintshop is willing to remove this edge and prep the T-top without the metal edge and re-install after final paint.
He intends to give the metal a dull black finish, then re-install.
My question is, how is the original car done ex-factory?
>Painted black edge?
>Same as rooftop color, or
>polished metal?
The windscreen and rear glass surrounds have also been removed, and will be painted dull black; these parts are anodised aluminium, I think.
I have been thinking to polish these as well, they are currently partially bright aloy, partially black, which I think is the original.
Can this be polished, without distorting them, while they are removed?
Lots of questions, hope to get some ideas what is original, and what would be "nicer" to do.
BTW, the new car color will be medium bright blue-metallic, and it concerns an '81 model
Thanks for any imputs.
