I'm working on small parts until I have a shop and I would like to know what finish the defrost vents originally had? Was it mat black, semigloss, gloss, or wrinkle? I have another load of parts going to the powder coater and his finish would be gloss black.
Thanks, Rut

The defroster vents on my '63 TR4 are finished in gloss black enamel.
I believe that was the original finish since the original owner never did any interior work on the car.....

Yep...that's what is original as mine were in good condition. I did mine in a semi-gloss as gloss was TOO shiny for me.
