what color should the rims be painted if I am using the original hubcaps?
what is the correct color the radio speaker should be painted if the interior is blue and white, I mean what shade and product of blue?
The dash is a dull blue.
should the tele. wheel lock be chrome or black, I have both!
Is there a required color for the thin area between the painted console base and the chrome border, this is the recess that is about 1/16" wide and travels the perimeter of the console.
Yes, it's Lt. Columbo!

wheels are a semi gloss black

speaker grille should be the same color as the dash

tele lock I am thinking is Chrome

the area of the console you speak of is the color of the console. in your case it should be blue the same color as the dash

If you haven't bought a judging manual do so. It'll answer the questions you just asked and more.

The outer face of the wheels should be gloss black; the rest of the wheel should be semi-gloss black.

I will buy a judging manual right away, from where?
The blue in question is the blue that is between the dash pads, can someone tell me what to use?
Thanks,
Lt. C.
