What is the correct paint color and orientation for a 77'? Upper black, lower gray? Upper gray, lower black? All Black? All gray? Also looking for some gray color spec recommendations.

Living in the NW is rains, a lot... And as a result I have a few leaks. One in the rain gutter, which seems odd since the whole top has been redone and new top gasket installed? Any ideas? Could it still be a rivet? I'll be installing new corner seals in the front doors from SOR to eliminate daylight and leaks. However, I have yet to read or find a solution for the rear doors. I have new weatherstripping installed, but water leaks from the roof down into the tops of the doors? Any fixes for sealing the top of the doors better, without making the doors to tight...

Thanks!

I usually go black lower with krylon machine grey upper, or other dark grey upper.
I've seen some people do the heater in a hammered finish on the early rigs as well.

I don't know if there's a specific code on the heater that's been made available.
 
If I remember correctly the top is plastic and lower metal. I polished the plastic on mine to reveal the gray plastic and painted the bottom black. So I believe all plastic parts were moulded gray plastic and all metal was painted black. Pic from SOR.
