[Healeys] BJ8 top drain channel color

[billhuck]

The top drain, top bowes, top metal bands on front bow - over windows and two
piece tubular support for the tonneau were all painted with  what was known as
'battle ship grey' - a blueish medium grey. True at least for '65 and '67
BJ8s.

Ken,

The convertible top drain channel and top rear locating strip are both 
painted the same medium gray. It was never my impression that these were 
brush painted as they are quite visible in the car. They were well finished 
in a nice smooth probably sprayed gloss.
