Working on painting the top half of my car. I have taken the rear spoiler off because I need to take the deck down to bare metal.

I see there is a little "bead" type thing that goes between the deck and spoiler. first, I am going to assume this is original. Second, was that painted to match the car, or was it left black, no mater what color the car was?

It appears that partway through the channeling of the trunk and convertible area, they painted it black. Is this correct?

 

Are you talking about the black plastic piece that you can see on the front side of the spoiler, sitting between the deck and the spoiler? Mine's black too, I think it's black on all cars.

 

my white car's is black too..

 

I had black in the back also.

 

blue, you are correct.

So all my assumptions are correct. Now I know what I need to do to put it back together.

Thanks to all!!
