Which Paint?

[dspur]

What paint should be used in these brackets, pulleys etc? Semi gloss black, satin black, rustoleum or?

Semi gloss rustoleum seems a little shiny but may not be. What is closest to factory?

TIA

VHT makes an "Epoxy Black" in a rattle can. It's purple with a strut or coilover shock or something on the can. That stuff is semi-gloss and when applied to bare metal I've hit it with a wire wheel on an angle grinder and it stays. I did some floor pans on a VW bBeetle chassis that the customer never came and picked up. I had painted the top with that VHT. It sat outside holding water for several years before it started getting showing any rust color in the puddles...

You can buy the epoxy rattle cans at H-depot or Lowe's, it's appliance paint. I use to paint motorcycle frames with it, tough as nails resist chipping!!!!
