Underhood Paint

[88hurstolds]

Anyone find a close match to the core support and inner fender paint for under the hood?

I have seen some good reviews on Eastwood with regards to color match but it stops there... stuff chips easy and any chemical spills will just eat or discolor the paint instantly.

Anyone?
Was the factory an E-coat?

I am no expert but in my opinion the best way to do the inner fenders and core support is to use the same gloss black that is on the outside of the car. I have used the Eastwood underwood black and while it has held up really well over the years, it's more of a semi gloss. My fenders and core support are original paint and it seems more like gloss black.

Ive used PPG delfleet polyurethane semi gloss. Looks great and is tough.

I've used SEM and am happy with the results. Sanded down to the bare metal first, then

used SEM Self Etching Primer first, then SEM Trim Black.
