I read in one reference book that they are 30 Deg Gloss, but when looking back at all my reference pictures from the 2009 Carlisle A12 reunion all of them seem to be Gloss. Im hoping someone can put this to rest for me.... 69 Road Runner, numbers matching 383, Auto.

This is outside in natural light and shows the gloss level accurately and is extremly close to what I started with. 6992816-100_2298.JPG (56 downloads)

Regardless of what the original paint was called, all my NOS wheels look semi-gloss (not satin, though). This is evident when you hold one next to the car's exterior paint. Contact info

It was more evident once the tires were removed and the "hasn't seen the light of day" paint between the beads was exposed for the first time since May '69.
