Does anyone happen to know the paint color and finish on the exterior door handles for an 86 GT? Pint color is black. Since mine are worn I can’t completely tell. Am thinking about having them refinished in the spring.

Essentially a Semi-gloss/Satin finish. I would say more Semi-gloss, but definitely not gloss or flat.

Black, just basic black.
Same for the wiper arms, lock cylinders, and the antennae.
Many body shops might consider it a trim/bumper type of color and sheen. That can help with the overall sheen too, especially if shot in a single stage urethane. Good Luck!
