Default Engine Paint

What are the Forum's recommendations for a correct 1970 engine paint with attention to shade and sheen?

Quanta Products has a engine enamal that is a dead-ringer for the ral stuff used in the early 70's.

It is not over-shinny and does not have to much red tint like the junk you get at the auto stores.

I have used it on a couple NCRS TFlight cars and other than applying to much of it, it has always gotten really good comments from the judges.

They supply many of the Vendors too....
