valance color black shiny or satin?, what was factory? Options

[buck toenges]

I am getting my valances powder coated. Was factory satin finished? What is the opinion for shiny black? I am refinishing a '70 to Irish green. Engine compartment lid grate was shiny black correct?

Thanks,
Buck

under the engine grill was semi gloss black.
If you're getting the valance powder painted, tell them you want it 50/50 black.
The best thing to use for texture is Sem Chip Guard, in aerosol can.
It's a clear rubberized texture. . If you use Rocker Schutz, which is tan,
when you get a rock chip the tan shows through. .
