Default 79 trim

Is all the trim on a 79 black? Also is it supposed to be flat or satin? Right now all my trim is bare. The rear glass trim shows some signs of black. All the trim around the windshield is shiney and in good shape. So I can either clean up the rear trim and go bare or paint it. All my friends tell me to leave it but I think the black my look great. Also one more question the lower trim panels are supposed to be black and the groove is natural, right? Should the screws be stainless mine show and are rusty.

The windshield trim is black but the T-Top trim is shinning.

All is black on the '79. No silver.

Black with the line running along the body is Chrome.

Default T-Top trim

I have a 79 with the origanal fiberglass t-tops and I'm only the second owner and know the origanal owner very well. The trim for the fiberglass t-tops are chrome.
