Default dash tab color

I have my 67 coupe in the shop getting a new paint job changing color back to silver like it was born with. My question is the tabs on the dash where the rivets are painted the color of the car or is it black like my dash and seats? Thanks for any help.

Those tabs (and rivet heads) will have to be painted body color (silver). The only time they're not is when the exterior and interior colors are the same (ie: red & red or black & black or blue & blue, etc). Cheers, Bill
