Anyone know whether VW used gloss or satin black for Beetle Suspension? I am not doing a period correct resto but thought I would freshen up the black bits underneath whilst I am changing the gearbox

Satin under the car and suspension

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Hi

I buy this paint from Mitre 10, nice finish and it dries very fast, I did my chassis with it.
