I need to powdercoat the black under-bonnet parts such as the air filter housing and air intake shroud for the heater of a 1972 S2.
Can anyone confirm the original finish? My thoughts are gloss but I'm willing to be proved wrong!

I agree gloss, but not too shiny as Tim says, I assume it was cellulose paint originally that was thinly applied to the steel

Gloss with a small amount of matting agent?

Thanks everyone.
Gloss with a hint of matt it is then.

I experimented with a few options and found that Hammerite Smooth Black gave a very close finish to the original. I used the aerosol spray can version. It gives the sheen that I have seen in unrestored cars.

I use so much smooth satin black Hammerite that I'm thinking of buying shares in it!

That looks spot on in terms of sheen and coat thinness. I've always been wary of hammerite after using paint on, but I'll give the rattlecan a go after seeing you get such a good result.

The brush on stuff of youth isn't the same as what's available now. I expect the "recent change" was twenty five years ago or something.
