I read that the button is supposed to be painted the same color as the steering wheel.

A Google AI response told me that the 1947-1953 Steering wheels were brown. All of them apparently. This jives with the photo of an original horn button that someone else posted on a related post about steering wheel color.

All the ones sold after market are black but I suppose are meant to be painted.

My original wheel is black but I imagine all the original brown paint could have worn off.

C mayna's picture about shows an original brown button lending credence to the brown wheel as being correct.
