Did the Lycoming build sheets mention anything about satin or semi gloss on any of the parts, or were they just to be painted black?

On my unrestored car, the block, transmission and bellhousing and parts of the subframe are red. there are signs of overspray from repainting and other colors too. Does anyone else have any support for red color.

I guess that trumps the John Deere Green Rustoleum that my dad used in 1955 when he and my brother rebuilt the drive train. As he said later, "It's what I had on hand, so that's what it got."
I'll paint black over the JDG when the engine comes back out of the car in April.

You Must know that they did not have a satin finish back in that time, the paint was of a fairly poor quality, so it lost its luster very quickly to any sun. but if take things apart carefully and can look in the shadows you will see that it is still shiny. And if you watch some of the very old movies of the car assembly plants you know that they dipped most small parts and did that one time so is not a lot of paint on these parts.
So I have to disagree with the satin and say it was shiny Black when new.
My 2 cents

I agree, it was not a flat black. Satin black would be that 60-70% gloss range versus no reflective gloss at all. Most formulations utilize crushed or pulverized glass to modify the reflective quality of the paint both then and now.
