    Hi, can anyone please confirm if the rear spoiler and engine covers / air intakes are supposed to be gloss black, or the same non -gloss (satin?) black a the lower half of the car?

    Thanks

    hello - i'm no expert, just own a two tone 83 bbi - and was like this when i bought it. it seems to me the black paint (bumpers, engine vents, spoiler, and bottom half) is all gloss and all the same type on my car. however, id let someone weigh in that restores these cars.

    SEM trim black seems to be the best in my opinion. Its satin black

    SEM is a brand of spray paint I have seen available in body shop supply stores.

    Ok...found it.

    So SEM trim black is a satin (non gloss) finish? all black parts should be with this?

    Thanks again....sorry for my lack of knowledge!

    Yes you'll get the correct sheen with SEM trim black. You can buy it in larger quantities than a spray bomb to paint your covers, spoiler etc.
