Matching engine paint
« on: September 18, 2011, 05:03:48 PM »
Where can I readily find (Autozone, Advance Auto, NAPA, etc.) paint that matches the stock engine black? Either I get it too glossy or too flat or off black.
Thanks.

Dupli-color semi gloss engine paint is very close. There's a low gloss also, it's too flat.

Auto Zone and O'Reilly's

I used high temp paint meant for grills and it looks pretty good.  Got it at Home Depot.  Not sure what brand.

Thanks for the responses. I'm going to give Dupli-color a try.
