Thanks for response. Want to keep them correct.
Car has them painted now and was a multiple time NCCCI national winner. (Shout of thanks to previous owner of 33 yrs) Great Job.
I've read in NCRS forums that they were painted but never found what gloss? At diff shows see them painted and not painted. They are semi or gloss now on the ones i'm replacing. Waiting today for UPS to deliver Corvette Central magnaflows and debating to paint or not. going to shop monday for install and if i paint want them to cure a few days.

Want to give a thanks to all whom have answered the questions i've asked in the last month. this is a great site and great folks here.
Again thanks
