too bad underlines don't show up in text email!
My guess, going from what I know about Chevies:
1. black
2. body color, but black inside one of the molding lines
3. steering column color
4. black
5. black primer with body color overspray where it happens to get it
6-7. I don't know, but since they're hidden, it's likely they just
got body color overspray on them originally
Please take these answers with a grain of salt...
