Leghome Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 SEM has a trim black that is a satin finish. The part number is 39143 Trim Black. It matches the factory under hood color almost perfectly. I do not know who carries it but I work in an automotive paint store and we do. So that is probably a good place to start looking if that is what you want. I used it on the engine compartment on my 72 it it looks a whole lot better than the flat black that was there.

stangeba Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I remember that list, I wish I had copied it. I sprayed any "unpainted" items like spindles. tie rods, drag link steering arms all Eastwood cast iron gray. The rest got Rustoleom low gloss black (Not Flat).

cny first gen 71 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I dont think they were painted Willie I think they were left natural. If it was me I would find a paint that looks natural though just to have something on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
