I am refurbishing the suspension on my 6 while the body is being finished and painted. I have noted while looking at different threads that folks usually finish the parts in a satin finish. Mine look to have been gloss black originally from what I can tell. So, what should the finish be?
Thanks, Bill |

All of the stock suspension components we've had come through the shop (both 911 and 914) are what I would consider "Semi-Gloss" when you get them clean.
Satin is a little too flat in my opinion. |

Satin is a little too flat in my opinion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It's more of a semi gloss / low gloss. When I paint it, I go with a 60-70% gloss. I've got a pile I'm going to take to the powder coater as soon as funds allow and will see what he has in a low gloss. |
