[DeTomaso] spare tire rim

[FJL]

I still have the OEM steel spare tire rim with the collapsible tire.  It was 
never used and never will be.  Paint is chipped and some spots of surface 
rust.  Just want it to look as new.

The mystery is if the OEM black paint is satin or gloss and does the black 
color and finish match the OEM black color finish of a '74L front and rear 
bumper.

Thanks
Frank
