Re: Correct paint for frame and chassis on a 52 Deluxe 200

AO-Smith, who built the frames for Packard delivered them in a basic black frame paint. Pretty much a cheap satin black (low-gloss). Not glossy or perfect. Remember, these were not show cars when new. The paint was for basic rust protection, not show.

Any texture you may seen could have been from undercoating that was common in the snow belt areas.
