    Best option for a rattle can for wheel well backout on a '69

    Guys,

    I need to touch up the blackout on my 69 wheel wells. It's a small area so I don't want to break out the gun and order a quart of something. Hoping to get a close match with a rattle can. Surprisingly, I did a search and didn't find anything. Anyone have a recommendation of something that comes pretty close?

    I just used some semi-flat black I already had and it looked fine. If you don't like the result, just spray another brand over it. Apply light coats using lacquer for quick dry time and less chance of reactions.

      I used SEM trim Black on my firewall. looks real nice and applies better than any rattle can I've ever used.

        I used this stuff about 5 years ago and it looked close to factory original to my eye. Got it at the local auto parts store. Formula's change, so buy a can and spray it out on a piece of cardboard. It's cheap, so the experiment won't cost much.
