I AM DOING A RESTO. ON A 87 GRAND NATIONAL WITH T-TOPS, THE CAR WAS PAINTED YEARS AGO, AND THEY PAINTED EVERYTHING IN GLOSS BLACK,EVEN THE TRIM !!!! MY QUESTION TO WHOM MINGHT KNOW IS: WHICH TRIM PIECES WERE PAINTED THE FLAT"DULL" BLACK,AND WERE ANY GLOSS LIKE THE PAINT ON THE PANELS. I THINK THE WINDOW MOULDINGS,DOOR HANDLES,LOCK CYLINDERS,WIPERS WERE FLAT BLACK,BUT WHAT ELSE? HOW ABOUT THE T-TOP TRIM,AND ALL THAT SURROUNDS THE T-TOP.AND WHEN THEY ARE REMOVED IS THE BODY TRIM ON THE ROOF AROUND THE T-TOPS FLAT ALSO? CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM?! PLEASE LET ME KNOW ALL THE PIECES ON THE CAR THAT ARE PAINTED FLAT BLACK!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! GLENN

Actually when the trim was new it was a kind of shiney satinblack over time and years of exposure to the sun it fades to look kind of like flat black.
