So the more I read the more different info I find. I went back through all my old pictures from the A12 reunion in Carlisle in 2009, and it would appear that most are of the A12 cars wheels were Gloss. I'm not sure if its a case of wheels coming from various manufactures back in 69 and that resulted in various finishes. Im not even sure if there is a correct anwser. I have my wheels getting prepped for power coating as we speak and my options are Satin/Semi which is somewhere around 40 Deg Gloss, or Gloss (Flat is out). Im not building a A12 car or even a clone, but Id like to at least get them close to the finish they should have been.... Does anyone else have any light they can shed on this?
I went to the A12 forum to see if I could ask there, but it seems as if I cant register for the forum, and from searching there it seems more of the discussions we related to type of paint, Enamel, etc. rather then finish, but from looking at many pictures there still seems to be a large varity of sheen....
