black paint on headlight door

Post by abe »

I got a used headlight door (the aluminum surround) for my 70 F350 to replace the one on it now as it is dinged badly.

I am going to paint the black part (around the headlight) before I put it on. What kind of black is it, gloss, satin, or flat?

thanks, Abe

I know the black on my 68 grill looks like matte when cleaned up, but I believe as the person on FTE told u it may be satin on the 70 headlight doors. (but I think a matte.)
