Help with proper 1930 paint please?

[Dwight Romberger]

Hi All,

My 1930 model 47 comes back from the media blaster today! I am finalizing the paint scheme and I have a question. Some pics show the recess around the windows painted black (option 1). Some pics show the recess painted the body color (option 2) Does anyone know which is correct? I appreciate any input.

I have attached two photos showing option 1 and 2.

Thanks,

Dwight

(I guess everyone but me knows this, but if you click on the pic, you get a larger pic that shows the difference.)

Dwight,

Beautiful car! You might check the judging manual on the BCA site.

My son's 29 Buick was originally Cenosure Blue with black fenders & moulding that had cream inserts under the windows. I believe the pin striping was also cream color....

Mark,

Thanks for the compliment, but neither car is mine. They are just examples.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I did'nt mean to mislead.

But you were right. The BCA manual says the window reveals were black.

Thanks Mark.

Dwight
