What color does one paint the front roof moulding (F4 aluminum) for 1930 Ford Tudor sedan? The Judging Standards page 9-2 Revised 2016 states, "aluminum mouldings were installed earlier and painted with the body." So my question is: Do I paint it black as the drip mouldings, or per the judging standards statement I paint it upper body color?

The original roof moldings on our 30 Tudor are steel, or F1. Also, according to the same chart, 30-31 Tudors also used aluminum moldings, which you referenced. The JS states that the steel moldings were repainted to match the top material. It appears that the aluminum moldings were painted upper body color, and the steel moldings were painted to match the top material, which is black on a Tudor. Am I getting this right?
