[ricksrj58 273]

are the black metal panels originally gloss black or matte black ?

Mine appear to be semi gloss on the 300 and 400 series.

Just to give you an idea of the matte look, this black hood was done in matte. I think the 520 hoods had a bit more shine, like the guys said semi gloss or even gloss. Most of the old 520 hoods I have had, the paint job from the factory was chincy and rubbed though and faded.
