1977 Lemans 850 Resto project

[guzzisailor]

I am getting ready to start my restoration on a 77 Lemans 850 MK1 I picked up totally disassembled and in bad shape.  Can anyone who currently owns a LM1 MK1  tell me if the frame & swingarm are originally gloss black or satin black?   This frame looks gloss black but the example at the Barbers Museum is satin.

Thanks.

satin black. And painted, not powdercoated

Yes, satin.
