T25 Metal Bumpers Gloss Or Satin Finish ?

Post by Richard Workman »

Hi, does anyone know if the standard black metal bumpers on 1983 t25 were finished in a gloss or satin/matt finish. Thanks

Who cares?, it's what you want that matters.

Satin marks easily and gloss shows up blemishes but there are textured paints around that hide any blemishes much better.

I rollered mine recently with Rustoleum, it's quite easy to get a textured finish with Rustolem that people don't like on the body work but looks great on the bumpers.
