The correct window molding finish is straight grain oak. You may be able to find the base color on the back side of a molding. It is a light tan color with more yellow than brown. The grain is a dark brown color. The heater body color is the same as the Ford, light gray. TCP Global has a formula for the heater color, but it sprayed out too dark for me, so I added some white to lighten the color to match the paint that was still on the heater. Mike Kubarth or Larry Caplan may have a formula that is closer to the original color. Here is a photo of an un-restored heater at the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum. Tom
