    There is a thread on this (or at least on the targa top). The targa top should be black eggshell/satin. I believe it was made that way so as to not show marring as it is handled and stored behind the seats.

    I think the wiper mounts are anodized black.

    Correct finish for both items is satin black. Often called 'trim black' one of the best sources is SEM that sells it in a rattle can.

    Satin black Steve and you might want to consider putting a satin laquer on it as this finish is very easy to damage. I wish I'd thought to have satin laquer put on mine. Here is a photo of it.

    Hi Rob, do you know if this would be the same for a 308.

    On the 308 I know the wipers would be satin black but I'm not 100% sure how the Targa top was finished. I know there were variants over the years with some being smooth and others textured but GTS 308's I do not know as well as the GTB's
