A little help please. What is the color of the metal trim around the door panel on my 1950 1/2T pick up?

If you post a link to a photo maybe someone could wager a guess. But we need to see it before guessing.

Or did you mean something else?

Jhyp,

Maybe I am misunderstanding the question. But are you asking, if you purchase the metal trim around the door panel, what color is it? If that is what you mean, I believe that they are a shiny stainless finish. Anyway, that is the only color I have ever seen.

Good luck with your project.

Tim and some other guys can give you the concour answer. I painted mine brown near the color of the panels of my '54, but purposely not exactly.

I scuffed, primed with self etching, then primed and wet sanded. Bought some paints at a hobby shop to mix the color. Sprayed with an airbrush.

The color on my '50 1/2 ton was painted maroon. There was original paint on the back side that was in pretty good shape that I had color matched by the PPG dealer.I had a pint mixed up and it was more than enough.
