I just finished mine and used the paint from Eastwood. Here is what I used.
Pre painting prep aerosol. Part number 10041z

Extreme chassis black satin 11175z
Hope this helps you.

I found that krylon satin black is a really good match. inexpensive, and easy to find just about anywhere. been using it for frame/chassis touch-up for years.
