I am assuming the angle strips welded to the sides were body color, the other strips were probably black like the boards. I must be just about done if I am worrying about this!

Did you use gloss or semi-gloss coal tar to "paint" the boards  .

After sanding the boards I put it on without primer per their instructions. It looks real nice. I have the same paint on my porch (not black) and it has held up pretty well.
