Does anyone know if it is a flat, semi-gloss, or gloss sheen?

Also, any suggestions or opinions on brand and type of paint to use to paint this completely rebuilt engine are welcome!!

My vote is Gray for that year and engine.

I saw that on LT1 Burb's '65 a few days back on this thread. It sure looks nice!

I am reupholstering my seat for my 60 C10. Does anyone have the dimensions for the pattern shown here? Need width of center triangular shaped section on seat back at top and bottom, width of vinyl at top of seat back and front of bottom seat, etc.

while were on the subject, who offers the the best or closest to OEM product ?, I recently ordered a seat spring repair kit from LMC looked nothing like the original, again with classic Industries a part that was supposed to be Exact fit but nowhere close, i realize they are re-pop for a reason but would be nice if they tried a little to get it right, I feel like the 60-66 crowd is not being represented as well, Oh well, just a morning rant
