Re: painting a tilt
I was under the impression they were always black. Anyone else know for sure? Mine is black, but I got it after the fact from Brother's.

Re: painting a tilt
mine is dark olive, just like the rest of my interior. it's original. don't know what determines whether they are painted body color or not, but mine is.

Re: painting a tilt
All the tilts I have seen are black. But my non-tilt from the factory was dark green to match the dash pad, seat, etc....

Re: painting a tilt
i guess i should have read the question more carefully...mine is currently non-tilt, body color. the tilt i have yet to put in is black. i think body color looks better, though.

Re: painting a tilt

Re: painting a tilt
Never seen a tilt column that wasn't black.

Re: painting a tilt
would the original steering wheel have been black in that case, or still cab color? seems like it could look funny, for instance, with my green wheel on a black column...
