Actually, I've got a picture of an original 49 dash in great condition
and it has 2 colors of paint on it. The ribs are painted one color
(dash color I think) and the recesses are painted another (a sort of
light brown). The stainless strips above and below are not painted
and the lettering is black. I could maybe scan this picture if
anyone is interested.
