I can vouch for the fact that Rob's car has never had the paint altered in any way.(Which is fun because he has had a few pantera guys tell him the black is not the correct paint)
The hoods are satin and do have a slight metalic in the paint.
The rivets do not show any signs of ever have been covered in anything so I would conclude that they were originally bare metal.
A little off topic, but can anybody shed some light on the two buttons on the leading edge of the front hood? GTS only? Just curious.
Thanks,
