I personally like brushed. I used a red scotchbrite pad on the trim on my 68 and it came out nice. There were minor scratches which led me to the approach. Looked nice and understated.

Hey Raj...flat black would be my vote. Your theme would be consistent w door handles and rims brushed, above the door all black. Did you also paint your window weatherstrip channel?

Thanks for the advice gents!

Rick -- would you happen to have some pictures of your trim?

Ron -- so far the window weather strip channel is not painted but that can be changed also... great more to think about!

Raj, that car is sweet. I'd match the wheels hoops but you can't go wrong either way.
