69 Nova Body Side Moldings

Are we talking about the moldings that run down the center of the side of the car with certain trim packages? I thought the black was always paint, but I've only had my hands on 71-72 moldings. I never knew they used tape.

Yep, we are talking the Body Side moldings not the Rocker Trim. There are two versions of the Body Side, one is black paint (including the NOS pieces) and the other version is simply a 1/2" of black tape. All 6 moldings on our '69 have black tape, but I'm not certain if they are original to the car since it was repainted back in the late '80's - even though they have overspray on them. So, I'm thinking they should be tape...

Thanks. I never knew that. Like I said, I've only had 71-74 era moldings, so I just assumed that 69-70 were painted too.
