Hi guys.
I ahve a question as to weather or not the back portion of where the T TOPS rest length wise accross the chrome T-STRIP on the body lays... is it supposed to be semi gloss black or body color? The body shop is telling me that factory is black, and I dont think its right...
This while back area is in question.. on a stock 1977 corvette i believe its body color...

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
My 82 is body color but it was repainted ones. Not a great paint job but have no indications that it was anything other than body color.
My 80's are body color, I do not think any were painted black. Body man must be thinking about a Mustang............

It should be body colored, as everyone has said.
