<VV> FC Trim Paint Question

[hallgrenn at aol.com]

Phil,

In discussions over the years the consensus that I heard was that the factory didn't paint the roofs any color but body color (fleet orders aside), but doing so was a common practice and that many dealers added it as an option.  When I had my roof painted white at Hot Air Enterprises twenty years back I opted to keep the drip rail body color.   A white roof definitely keeps the interior cooler in the hotter months.

 On some FCs, the roof is painted off-white (trim color).  Should the drip 
ails be painted body color or trim color?  Which way were they done by the 
actories?

Hello, all you FC paint experts.
    In the Cove that surrounds an FC, there are small flats (about 1/16 inch 
ide) at the top and bottom edges of the cove, right between the double curve of 
he Cove and the main parts of the body panels.  Should these flats be painted 
ody color or trim color?  Which way were they painted by the factories?

    Thanks in advance for your help.
