Its not semi-gloss like American cars from the '60s. The Sunbeams were gloss black. All the sheetmetal parts, including engine blocks are all gloss black (including freeze plugs)
I would NOT use a lacquer or the new urethane paints, especially the urethane paints on bare metal (very bad combination, because it wants to cross-link, or bond, to a previously appied layer of paint) I use acrylic enamel, gloss black.and the paint needs to be special? for temperature I mean...
