I am going to paint my frame and cannot find anything called "Chassis Black" Should I paint it flat black or a semi-gloss, or Gloss? I just want to clean it up a little underneath while I have the suspension parts out. Thanks.

Look at Eastwood Products, I know that they carry chassis black.

Satin Black by Rustoleum is very similar to Semi Gloss Black in other brands.
As stated above, Eastwood has chasis black.
Any of the above would probably be acceptable to you.

Hi,
FYI, I used POR-15 Chassis Black. It covers over rust very well and has a nice, satin finish.
Good luck,
Tom

I've been told by a car show judge / Classic Car Restorer that Rustoleum Satin Black is same mix as original GM Chassis paint.

I prefer Krylon Semi-flat black. No drips - fast dry.
I put it over POR15. I cannot bring myself to pay top dollar for
POR topcoat. For a show car maybe. Mine will be a go car.
