I went through all of this when I restored my BT7, but just to verify for a friend who is now doing a restoration, are these pieces painted gloss black or satin black? I think satin is the correct answer, but validation is nice. I checked the judging guidelines and unless I missed something the guidelines just say black.Thanks.

I used Chassis Black (original) from Eastwood. Hirsch makes a similar paint. Both have the appropriate (low) gloss when dry. Make sure to use a self-etching primer underneath. Check the Concours Guide for the finish on the hardware - some are black, some zinc plated, some black anodized (at least on my BN2).

Low-gloss (satin) black. Although knowing how paint shops operate at OEMs, depending on the time of year, the sheen level could have been a high semi-gloss.
