manfromtarsus Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 I'm getting ready to paint my '53 bumpers. Should the black be gloss, sem-gloss or matte finish? Any suggestions are welcome. Quote
52b3b Joe Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 I have wondered the same question. If I had to guess, they were semi-gloss or gloss. For looks, I am painting mine gloss, but I'm really not sure what is "right". Hopefully someone on here does know. Quote
Jim Shepard Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 I've never seen where the correct color/shade was listed. I've always assumed it was gloss black. Anyway, I powder-coated mine gloss black... Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 I have a so-called History and Restoration guide and am extremely disappointed in the lack of information that should be within the pages..I did look at the book in your behalf. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 if it were mine and had my druthers as they say..gloss is the way I would go...satin is for inside if needed painted and of course flat is for dull people...lol Quote
JIPJOBXX Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 GLOSS AND YOU MIGHT LOOK INTO USING RUSTOLIUM. Quote
John-T-53 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) I've never seen where the correct color/shade was listed. I've always assumed it was gloss black. Anyway, I powder-coated mine gloss black... Ditto on all of the above. We can compare our bumpers on Saturday! Edited April 5, 2013 by John-T-53 Quote
Desotodav Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 Mine is gloss black. It's sitting on the floor in the shed (just behind the 'dog house') at present... Quote
manfromtarsus Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks, guys. Gloss black it will be. Quote
