  About to finish my wood tool covers early 47 Mercury convertible. Long time since I have seen an original. Were they body colour? I can find no references to them anywhere.
Thanks

  Check to see what the Fords had on them for a finish or sealer. Would be the same as the Ford

  They were dipped in a mix of leftover paint. Nothing fancy at all.
Ultimately the finish was a semi dull black.
Those of us that do full restorations tend to apply two to three coats of Minwax Ebony stain.
