1987 V20, are the colors (black, and gold bowtie) matte, gloss, or somewhere in between? Mine are to far gone to tell.

I don't believe gloss is right, the gold is Ochre Ditzler 2323, and the black is similar to the black on the side moldings. Just my humble opinion.

I used VHT Black Satin Epoxy on the ones I've done.

One warning (it's in the instructions as well...), follow the re-coating timeline if you use it. If you add delayed additional coats too early, the fresh coat can cause a reaction w/the previous coat. Other than that, I like the stuff. It has a very consistent 'sheen'.

It's not the best quality pic but the cap on the left is OE; the right one was repainted.
