Were all the lower grilles painted body color?
Mine is a natural metal. The ones in all the pictures are body color.
Not mine

mine

Mine is the color of the car. Someone painted it (I can see overspray in some places), so I, too, would like to know which is correct.

Yes they were all body color as far as I know. Take my stepdads Fast-Top here for example.

Take @FURYGT's Sport Fury 2 door HT as another example. (This pic is from the Carlisle 2016 photo tread here)

Here are two different ones on eb*y
Used and both natural. Like mine.

I have seen them many colors.
Even in the factory brochure

I have 2 that are not painted, who knows

When you bought the part at the dealer, they were unpainted. All from the assembly line were body color.

 

[FURYGT]

They were painted at the factory but that doesn't mean that if one got damaged coming down the assembly line that they wouldn't put a non-painted one on. Many were replaced without being painted.

Painted body color. Replacement from dealer parts counter non painted.

 

[xxcarguy]

Are they stainless?

 

[69 300 vert]

Mild steel

Didn’t look shiny when I brushed mine.
Don’t think I ever saw one with rust issues.
