Default Engine Compartment Black

Anyone know the paint code for the engine compartment black paint? This is the paint that's on the firewall area? I would like to freshen mine up in a couple of spots.

Thanks,

Don't know the original paint code, but mine looks like poop. I bought some gloss black engine paint, and that's what I'm gonna do with mine.

Don't use gloss, it will LOOK lilke crap. Use semi-gloss or satin finish if you dont get a paint code for it.

I can't even see my firewall, I wouldn't worry about it.

Chevy or Ecklers has a GM Goodwrench Reconditioning Paint (Black Frame/Chassis) in a full size spray can. I forget how much it was. I touched up the area of the frame directly below the battery area. It matched perfectly.
