The steering box was painted assembled and I would assume they had masked some areas with quick jigs. I just read this in the paint book. I will be painting my box in the not too distant future.
I believe they would have sprayed a gloss black alkyd enamel. The first coat would have been a special formulation for attaching to the metal, if they did more than one coat. Because it was an unprepared cast finish and not too thick a paint coating I am guessing it would not have looked very glossy.
I could be wrong on the above information. I am taking what I have learned about other parts and applying the info to the steering box.
