Thanks guys! And to think I was disappointed when I saw runs on the
engine mount and thought a previous owner put a crappy paint job on it. It
could have been the factory all along!

Mutt, you just described Rust-o-Leum semi-gloss black.
I liked your description of runs and dirt. Too many of
the Trailer Queens are hand-rubbed and perfect. Harley
never did that at the factory. Their bikes were made to
be ridden and generate a profit at the same time. Those
who rode them didn't care if the paint was perfect. Those
who 'profiled' polished, waxed, and bragged. And then
there were the customize'rs. If you're riding, most
people don't see you for more than a glance anyway. I
prefer un-restored ride-able originals over restored AMCA
bikes....but own both.

All black parts, other than the tank, fenders and fork
panel,
were painted with what was then known as "chassis black"
It's
about 85% gloss, not 90% or above

Most all of these parts were dip painted. Even the NOS
parts
have runs in them, some even have specs of dirt embedded
in
the paint. It is not matte, nor is it satin.

Can anyone advise if the paint on the swing arm on the
Scat
was satin black, or gloss black?
