The Drake gear was all smooth enamel until late in the B series.

A good repaint is Rustoleum 7777 "Satin Black", available at most hardware/home improvement outlets. Some prefer Krylon #1613, but I think the 7777 is closer to the original.

A good article describing the procedure is at

This results in an excellent paint job.

*A "good" job can be done with careful sanding of the original paint if it isn't too bad, no deep scratches, dents, etc.; cleaning of the surface with denatured alcohol (NO rubbing alcohol!), and a couple of coats of 7777.
