Default Powder coating wheels

Anyone have their wheels powder coated black? Wondering if I should go with a 80% or 90% gloss. Trying to look close to factory sheen.

Generally your powder coater will show you samples of the various blacks. Much easier to see for yourself than attempting to describe over the computer.

Yes; to the best of my knowledge the originals were at maximum high gloss, certainly that's what appears in archives photos and NOS wheels that I've seen.

My current wheels are power coated, but no idea the % of gloss, I selected the color from a sample.

While I'm not a 100% restorer I currently have 3 deuces with 100% gloss black wheels and they look great. If I remember right when I toured the Seacrest collection back in the 70's all his black parts and wheels were high gloss black?
