    Weber air cleaner paint?

    I am refinishing a metal air cleaner for my 66 (air box), what sheen was used on the finish? Gloss, flat, somewhere in between?

    Thanks all!

    More like "somewhere in between" definitely not gloss, but not flat either. I use Wurth satin black.

    Wurth has the right lustre, but is Wurthless as to durabulity.....simple solvents will remove it. Try VHT gloss engine enamel. It can be baked or heat cured on the car and is tough and resistant against solvents...gasoline. VHT gloss is just off wet glossy, just right. They have a satin but it is too flat for engine tin, etc.
