Just use black with flatner,comes out just right.

Krylon rattle can painting is for the ricers.
Never, never use a rattle can to paint anything on a car.

I agree that spray cans are not the first choice, but never say never. I have used POR15 chassis black and the Eastwood rust primer and spray chassis black (now the Eastwood primer comes in black) and both worked fine. The Eastwood has more gloss to it. I’m not sure which one has the exact amount of gloss but the POR was brush on and left a nice finish.

Lately I here a lot now about powder coating frames. If you going that way you may want to match the powder coat.
