Reply To: Wood frame: Stain or paint.

I use a seaaler on the wood first, then paint it black. Top bows seem to be both painted or natural depending on the car. It seem to me I see more natural finish than painted. Some cars have the header painted body color. The 32 open car I am currently helping with was painted windshield header and natural on the rest. I like the look of the wood myself.
