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 …<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">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.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">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.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jan 17, 2022, at 1:27 PM, JAMES ARMSTRONG via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net" class="">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div dir="auto" class="">Jim D,<div class="">Thanks for your answer.
