Semi-gloss black - a little more gloss than engine compartment since they were dipped and not sprayed.

If your shooting from a gum most painters play with mixes to get the right color.

Most of the rattle cars are pretty good if you shoot them in a cooler air. I tend to bake the shields after they dry to get a tougher finish. Depending on the rattle can you use this can improve the gloss or flatten it a bit. Just ahve to play with what is available
