For restoring my 1963 C50 what would be the closest rattle can finish for black wheels (Gloss/Semi-Gloss/Satin?) and, were lug nuts just unpainted, or painted? Zinc coated? Photo for attention

Gloss black, nuts weren't painted but metal color was silver. Photo taken when brand new.

Thanks a lot, this is exactly the info I need! will post pics once I paint them, need to get them blasted first. I may do it myself but for 7 rims (6+1 spare) I think my “time vs. $$” ratio will = have someone else blast them.

Decided against powder coat since I want to be able to touch them up when they need it.
