I have a 1974.

What color Black are the bumpers, rockers, and valances? Mine look flat black, but could have just lost thier shine.

What have you used?

30% gloss or "semi gloss"

"Satin" is also popular. That's what I used.

Yep, semi-gloss....in fact I reprayed mine with some Rustoleum Rattle can Semi-Gloss black, looks great! Super cheap alternative!

On my 73 they were dark black.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Mine are "Sabbath" black , but if you don't mind horse shit on your bumpers you'd probably prefer the looks of the "Clint" black.

yeah, it sounded stupid to me too....oh well, too late

Wurth satin black seems to be the closest to what Porsche used on our cars. I just painted a little piece of trim on the SC, and it matched what was already on the car perfectly.
