Re: COLOR OF 1968 STEERING COLUMN

Gloss is often specified in percentage units. The formula is complex and there are several ways to fixture the test. But, for 'big picture' purposes, think of it as the percent of light reflected from the painted surface vs. incident light applied.

So, a 0% gloss factor would be interpreted as fully flat or as the paint came out of the can...
