[Tigers] Type of black paint for spare hole down bolt and washer

[Jay]

I would say “gloss” is relative.  I don’t think they were satin.  I kind of think of all the paints on the Sunbeams as being a bit off “gloss.”  Kind of like they were painted on a foggy day.  Oh, wait …

Now don’t get me wrong.  They’ve been able to make things super glossy for a long time.  I just don’t think that the Sunbeams tended to be that way, and the odd bits of black here and there were even less.  And surfaces were not necessarily glass smooth, which also made for the paint to not have a high gloss look.

But I must admit I didn’t buy my Sunbeam new.  It was 8 years old when we got it.  So lots of time to deteriorate.  But still, the stuff in the trunk, without sun, in Southern California, were probably pretty close.

But since I don’t want to bother doing it again I thought I’d ask online. You were very kind to answer.
