[TR] TR4A Hood Sticks Cover

[Ben Zwissler]

Hello,

I'm preparing to install a new convertible top on my TR4A, and I need to 
paint the hood sticks and front and rear metal strips.  My car was 
originally white with a red interior and I'm redoing it the same with a 
white top. It looks the hood sticks were originally a tan color - not 
the white body color.  Were all car's hood sticks tan regardless of body 
or top color?

I'm about to order a Robbins top from TRF, but don't have it yet.  I 
believe the Robbins top will have a black interior lining - can anyone 
confirm that?  My inclination is to paint the hood sticks the original 
tan color, but my wife says if the inside of the top is black that won't 
look right.  Her opinion is that I should paint them black if the inside 
of the top is black.  I'm looking for other suggestions and opinions.

Thanks, Ben......
