Fjfjfj 1962 fj40 wheel color question.

[fjfjfj]

Hello you guys,,,,,,,,,,I am restoring the stock wheels on my 1962 fj40. I can see they are black and original and 50 years old and hard to tell if they were GLOSSY BLACK when new. I see in old original pictures in the brochures they appear to be a bit glossy. Any help from any you folks would be appreciated. What type BLACK do I use to restore these with? Glossy, Semi or Flat? Does anyone know what Factory used back then? Thanks, FJFJFJ

I personally would got glossy or a semi gloss. I think a satin finish would be to dull. I would use the same paint I use on the frame.

looks to be more semi gloss than full gloss IMO

Your welcome. I just wish Johnny would quit posting pictures of early FJ40 soft tops. Everytime I think that's one I can do without he posts another picture. Currently down to needing seat covers, canvas top and lenses for the front turn signals. Few things on the one pictured that were 61 only.
