Are the pillar posts and header painted the same color as the body, or are they black. May not see much paint but around the VIN is visible. Want to have it straight before I put it all together... Mine were black but the car has been repainted. Original body color was blue green and repainted same.

Originally they were painted the color of the body....

The choice is yours....lol

BUT if my car was originally a Mary Kay car and had pink pillar posts
you can bet your a$$ I would paint them to match the new color...
no matter how much trouble it was...

thanks.. decision made.. body color...

Before you make your final decision. When I took my all original car apart the outside of the pillar was very sparsely painted the body color and the inside of the pillar where the Vin Tag is located was a dark gray almost black primer. There was no body color to be found on the inside of the pillar. I agree regarding the outside adjacent to the door jamb.

Now I will say that my interior is black and that may have a bearing on things but I do not think so. I have seen a number of C3s torn down and the side of the pillar inside the passenger compartment is just some type of dark primer GM used.

If you are interested in being factory correct double check with NCRS. If you are not a member I am and would be happy to check for you.

By the way, you ride is gorgeous. I had a good freind that had the same car in bridgehampton blue and that is when I decided that the GTO had to be replaced by a vette.

I have to admit the GTO did sound pretty good though with the RAII motor. Still not a vette!

Definitely looks right with the semi-flat black on the post now that it's done, especially with the black around the edge of the glass.. thanks all...
