I know the topic of semi-gloss paints has been gone over many times before but I'm wondering if anyone's used the following paint. It's "Low-gloss Black #215" made by Plasti-kote. I painted my air cleaner top with it and it was turning out real good until one of my hairs fell in it. Then I had to re-strip the whole thing. But anyway, how does this stuff look as far as originality goes? I'd like to know before I go painting anything else. Thanks a lot.

Oh yeah, I have another question. What's the right color for the valve cover to air cleaner hose?

Don't know about originality but I have used the same product on parts that had the low gloss black finish (latest was inside heater box) with good results. I can't tell the difference from stock. I used it on my truck frame years ago, put on three heavy coats, but it didn't wear as well as paint applied with a gun.
