i am restoring a 67 3000, painted all the undercarriage parts semi-gloss(steering, rear end, suspension....) can anyone tell me if any components under the hood are gloss(radiator,brake res,...) or are semi-gloss????

thx
keith
 
Semi gloss is probably the best definition of the paint finish for the under bonnet items.--Fwiw--Keoke
 
Hey Keith,
If I recall correctly, the fan shield on the radiator was painted with a brush at the Healey works, not spray painted. And the brush strokes were clearly visible too - just looked it up in Anderson/Moment Restoration guide !
Regards,
Mike

Yup, you recall correctly Mike, painted with a brush and brush strokes were clearly visible.
