I have been doing a bit of reading on restoring 15" rallys, and some people are spraying the centers gloss black, others recommend a satin finish, and I was under the impression that they were originally flat black. I was hoping to get some opinions as to what will look the best.
Thanks in advance.

Definitely not gloss black. I've always used semi gloss black. IMHO, it looks best.

Semi-Gloss Black is the way to go! Looks great......

Ace sells a branded BBQ paint that is a real nice satin black and goes on good and is tough- worth checking!
