I would like to know specifically where the dividing line is between the exterior paint color and the interior paint color on a 1940 ford convertible including the color of the top frame.

"Dividing line?" Huh? Bodies were painted in their entirety, well, body color. Little care was taken to coat the interior areas with paint. That is, the interior floor surface, interior firewall surface, inside of doors, etc. Interior paint color? Dash boards, steering column, steering wheel, hand brake mechanism, etc. were painted their own specific colors. None of which would ever match any body color. Top bows were painted a light tan color. The hardware was chrome plated. Hope this helps... Mike Kubarth

Thanks for the imput.I didn't know the top frame was a tan paint.I did know my dash should be two tone moniada maroom and rose sand metallic and that there is also some woodgraining paint on garnishes.I question the area around the inside windshield(frame)Might it be body color or maybe the maroon like the dash,I'm not sure, would you know about this.Thanks again for your time.

As Kubes wrote the entire body was painted. So, the inside of the windshield frame which is part of the body would be body color. Likewise the dash was painted separately and installed. Same for steering column and wheel.

I use rustoleum "sand"" color for top bows. I usually try to avoid Rustoleum, but that one is a very close match to the original shade.
