Colour in engine bay

Post by bosv »

Hi
I need to repaint the engine bay since the paint is quite bad there.
What colour should I use ?
Is it a semi-gloss type?
Regards

On repainting the engine compartment of my 250 GTE, I removed the number plate on the firewall to display the original black paint. With some experimentation, I found, using Rustoleum, that a mix of 8 parts flat black to 10 parts satin black is very close to the original

It should be semigloss black, leaning towards the flatter end of the reflective scale.
