Expansion Tank: Chassis or Gloss Black?

Post by ppeters914 »

My coolant expansion tank is clean and ready for painting. Is it Chassis (sort of a semi-gloss) or Gloss Black? I'm thinking Chassis but wanted to double-check. Don't want to lose those concours points. :lol:

Hold on Pete. I thought you were asking what I used not what is 'correct'. I don't know what is correct but I did use Chassis black and like the look. Sorry if I misled you.

No worries. Before I sprayed the third coat, I asked Debbie if I should stick to Chassis Black or go Gloss. She said Chassis Black looked correct. While it would still be nice to know whether it's officially correct or not, it's Chassis Black on my car. :mrgreen:
