Satin or Gloss - Dumb question of the day !

#1 PostAuthor: Tonto » Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:15 pm

Guys, I feel a bit dumb asking this one - but I'm just refurbing some calipers for my A4; I was goint to finish them in satin black, but, my well meaning mate, tells me they should be painted gloss black, with the just carrier being finished in satin.
Before I apply some paint, can anyone confirm if these would have originally been fiinished in gloss or satin black finish ?? :?? :??

Thanks Tim
