Is flat black the correct color for the radiator support and inner fender wells for a '71 or does it need to be gloss black? thanks, trying to get things lookin' a bit better.

Re: correct color
The parts have some gloss to them. Semi-gloss will be very close to the original color.

Re: correct color
Or Eastwoods makes a "correct" color.I doubt it would make much difference unless you are going for a "Concours" resto.

Re: correct color
Go to Wal*Mart and buy a can of Krylon #1613. Its cheap, looks original, and any touch-up is only a stop at Wal*Mart away.

Re: correct color
60% gloss was factory.
if your just touching up, go with a can of Krylon Rust Control Satin.
