Default Color of t-top divider?
I want to strip and paint the section that divides the t-tops. What color should I paint it? Gloss black, semi-gloss black?

It's gonna be kind of a yellow to orange change. It's not really a color shift but not a pearl. Kind of a cross. It's dark yellow and changes to an orange.

Are you thinking about painting the B-Pillars to? I thought about the same type of color scheme for my Formula. Gloss black on top, and the color "I'm jealous of SOM" on the rest of the car.

Gloss black, otherwise it will look weird against the windows, especially when/if you get tinted, or if you already have them tinted.

I think i'm gonna do the roof black, and the t top divider. But what i'm really wondering is all the metal inbetween that. The metal that the weatherstripping goes too. It just looks like flat. Should I paint that gloss too
