400 Four Clocks Color

(1/1)

Piki:
Hello everyone, a question for the experts in the group...what color did the 400 Four clocks come in when they left the factory? Matte, Satin Black or Glossy Black?
Thank you in advance.

exvalvesetdabbler:
My best estimate is satin. Definitely not gloss.

Probably baked on, modern paint stripper doesn't soften it.

All the cases I have stripped there had been zinc plate underneath so be cautious if using alkyd resin paint.

On the left OEM finish, simoniz tough black satin on the right.

I used an epoxy primer as the first coat as a barrier to keep the zinc away from the top coat.  Only time will tell how durable this will be.

Dave
