Does anyone know of a spray paint that replicates the glossy to semi-glossy look of the finish on the 87-88 rubber side moldings? All of the bumper and rub strip paint I have found is flat and not glossy. I just picked up some used but very good condition side moldings that I would like to refinish to bring them back to the level of glossiness that the ones that are on my T-bird have now.
These moldings are part of the gradual build up of parts in preparation for the repaint of my 88 in a year or two:D
did you try the rustoleum satin as a comparison? I've been using it everywhere on my car. has a nice look to it
SEM Trim Black. It's perfect.

Cool thanks:D!
One more question. I want to sand a few imperfections off of the molding here and there. I'm guessing I should use 1000 grit and higher paper so as to not leave and marks correct?
I used 500 on the entire car before paint. That should be fine. any higher grit scratch may cause a poor mechanical bond with the paint
I'll give 500 grit a try and see how it does. Thanks.
