The engineering release clearly indicates black.
Well, I found out the reason my cover was missing on my "Early" 39 Mercury....Dad removed it to have one "made" AS our Pre War Ford GP uses one as well SO he removed it to show it to the fellow helping restore our Ford GP...... SO to "Kube's" point, IT IS painted body color and from "EVERY" indication I can see OUR Merc has never been repainted.....I will post a picture as soon as Dad gets it back in the next few days!!!!!
