If you can find it, GM recoditioning paint. Some dealers may have it but may not sell it to the general public. Last time I purchased it I had to buy a case, which is 4 gallons. Great stuff mix throughly then pray on. Can be brushed on too.

nothing special - you can use krylon semi-flat black. it's a dead ringer for the factory blackout. i used it on my 69, 85, and 90 corvettes for underhood blackout, details, and chassis black. check online - i thought i read that you can buy it in quarts vs rattle cans. for production, i'd bet the general used the cheapest semi-flat black lacquer that was available.
