Default C1 Soft Top Brackets

The C1 soft top frame is held by four brackets at the back, two on each sides. These brackets are bolted to the upper end of reinforcement plates behind the seats.
My question: should these brackets be painted black, same as the soft top frame, or be painted the same color as the inside of the car.
Any info would be appreciated.

Pierre, You are right in both cases, They are painted black and the body color!
Actually they wer originaly painted black, but were installed on the body prior to painting, so the got painted almost complete. :seeya :seeya
