Krylon Semi-Flat Black. The perfect finish, IMO. Part #1613.

Larry, are you trying to match the original finish closely as possible? If so, let me know what works, OK? :cheers:

Well I would like for it to be close but not looking for an identical match. Can’t paint the entire engine bay so I would like to match as close as possible.

Thanks for the paint recommendations guys!
