On the 1946 Packard and even the 1951 Packard are items such as the air cleaner, heater box etc... Painted satin black or gloss black. Seems I remember seeing mentioned that Packard used gloss black?
Thanks John


I have seen so many restorations where notably the air cleaners (particularly post war ones) are done in brilliant gloss black. With brilliant shining finishes. But the originals just were not glossy, glassy black. They were what best might be termed semi-gloss in very cheap black enamel, and yes, no primer coating or perfect metal underneath.
