1970 280SL Black finishes
« on: February 16, 2019, 02:25:48 »
It there any specific information on proper black finishes for coolant expansion tank (brass), air intake canister and power steering cap, etc. There are lots of post stating black...but I would like to know what kinda finish (mat, semi-gloss, gloss).
My eyes are tired from all the searching....any help would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

This is a very low mile 1970 280SL unrestored engine on a car sold by Motoring Investments.  More of a satin black to me.  Be careful of using the brake booster as a guide.  Even on extremely low mileage examples sold by anyone reputable the booster will have been sent off for rebuilding which includes refinishing.
