I want to paint the firewall, grill, rear pannel,headlite doors, dash top,ect...
flat or semi gloss black.
I would rather just buy one can of paint to spray all these.
I am using Duppont BB/CC on the car and would like to stay with a Dupont product.
Can I get suggestions on the amount of "%" flat to have the paint mixed?
I plan to use single stage but I am not sure what type of paint to use for under the hood that will also work well for things like the rear pannel?
thanks for any help T.C. :confused:

Krylon "1613" semi-flat Black"

Looks identical to the original black use by the General and can be bought at Wal-Mart.

TC,
If you can find it, MarHyde's trim and emblem black seems to work good. It is bulletproof as far as holding up to water / elements etc.

I used DuPont black enamel with about 15% by volume (before thinner) of flattener added for about a 70% gloss finish.
