I am working on a 41 120 convertible and want to get the engine vacuum tube for my power top the correct color. I just sprayed the firewall semigloss black but noticed the copper vacuum tubes were also painted black. I have seen the tubes painted either silver or black. Do you know which is correct?

Thanks

Looking for a suggestion on the copper vacuum lines. Also, was the copper gas line painted black?
Thanks

The gas lines were steel rather than copper. I'm not sure it they were installed before the chassis was painted or after but if before, then they ended up with black chassis paint but otherwise they were plain steel.

I have copper painted lines on my 42 and never lost a point at many shows including PI nantional neet.
