Were sunroofs not body color underneath?

I am redoing my sunroof bits and was surprised to see that it is gold anodized sort of color underneath. Was this common for them, or does my black car have a formerly gold sunroof on it?

I recently replaced the seals on my sunroof and the bottom side was body colored - black.

What the heck. I've had the car for 11 years and it had a clean Carfax back when I got it.

All of the sunroofs that I've had out, for cable work, etc., have been body-colored to match the car. Most were, as I remember, a kind of overspray, and not finished as well as the outside surface. They were painted more like the body-colored surfaces in the front trunk. I would guess that you have a replacement sunroof in your car, or your car has had a very well-done color change...

Mine is the same color as the body. Other years may be different tho.
