I'm not sure that the firewalls were 90% gloss, at least in the Novas. The Novas were more around 60%, maybe less.

SInce we are on the topic. The steering column is also out. I would really like to repaint the column from years for key wear around the ignition switch. I'm ready to paint but am wondering about the right paint to use in a spray can. Whom has had a good experience? ANd what spray paint in a can did you use?????

What Marlin said. There is a distinct difference in gloss level as well as the color of black between the firewall and the outside heater box. Firewalls are much duller and have nowhere near as much or as thorough of coverage.

For the inside box if you are using a spray bomb, try Rust Oleom's Flat Black. Spray on a good coat and then put a couple of 'dry spray' coats on it for the slight texture.

Thanks for the nice picture. That is what I was looking for. Sorry it took so long to reply. As you can guess, it still isn't painted yet.
