Don,
Thanks for correctly identifying the undercoating of the car when new as well as sharing the extra precautionary measures you took at the time. Much obliged, David

David and All,

I ordered my 300L with factory undercoating.  It was a rather dull black.  Not gloss or semi-gloss at all.

Being the fuss pot that I was when the car was new (well, fanatic might be appropriate), I also painted the underbody and inner panels with Rust-Oleum primer and then black enamel.  Prior to going to Club meets beginning in 1972, I had used the car only in good weather.  The meets were another matter - rain was often the order of the day back then.  Of course we all know that salt is the real enemy and I avoided that.

The perfectionism back then has paid off.  The car is rust free and that includes the rear quarters around the fender skirts, a notorious area for rust.

So dull black is the answer.

Esteemed Colleagues,
As the exhaust is currently off my 300L convt and awaiting replacement, I'm going to use the opportunity to personally undercoat the car. Going with POR-15 although it's going to be terribly messy LOL

Which closer is closer to the factory look as the car left the factory -- gloss black, semi-gloss black, silver or gray?

While the job will undoubtedly be a messy one, I'm sure it'll be worth it!

Best,
