i fully agree with the gloss black-but a lot of people look at the black on parts and because that gloss black is 40+ years old with nothing but weathering and being degreased and washed with all sorts it has now turned flat to semi gloss and people are trying to match that as a finish on a restoration. do them gloss but they were not a gloss black like the outside of a black car at sema- the paint was a brown/grey black and not like todays paints so the shine level is not a mirror black.
anyway that`s my
all the best
frank.
