Hi,
Can anyone advise if the paint on the Dolomite sills is gloss black or satin black? Also, from top of sill down when should the black line start? I’m sure it’s just a few mm....
Many thanks,
Chris.

Re: Black paint for sills
Satin Black for sills, originally the upper limit of the colour was defined by the centreline of the clips for the sill moulding. Later cars from around Oct 78> didn't have the sill moulding fitted but the paint line stayed in the same place. According to my original sill car, that's around 15-16mm from the top face of the sill.
