    Underhood paint

    Has anyone used Eastwood's Underhood Black? It seems about right for engine compartments but I would like some input on its durability and coverage if you've used it. I did some searches and didn't find out much. Here's their description:

    Underhood Black is the correct shade of black, having just the right 10-20% semigloss finish most car manufacturers used on radiator supports, inner fender walls, lug wrenches, jack bases, underhood brackets, and other parts. Hardware store black paints are either too thick, too glossy, or the wrong color. Just clean, degrease, and prepare the parts well, then spray on for a "factory-like" finish. This acrylic lacquer withstands up to 250 degrees F and goes on thin for a satin smooth finish which does not hide surface details.

    This adds to the on-going debate and opinions on degree of gloss, ease of use, and such.

    Yes, I've used it on my Dad's 72, and I really like it. In fact, I'd use it again on my next restoration.
