I do not know if this guy is kidding or what. He's always stating things that are wrong, then his comments cannot be seen when I log in. He said "Epoxy Satin" > "Absolute Joke"

Don't ask for help then slam someone because you don't like their answer.

You might as well tremclad it, seems like that's right up your alley

Actually, you did.

Don't seem to recall any gloss black under the hood of any GM car, ever.


Just sayin'


Wait! Maybe the long block in later years....

I've been using PPG semi-gloss lacquer that I've horded over the years but thats my way (good cleaning, self etch primer, lacquer.) Simple/easy fix-engine enamel, good enough for the block, good enough for everything else.

* Thanks very much, agreed. In reality, my car still has the factory lacquer, banned these days. Is self-etch primer necessary? I was just going to use (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Ol...+tgr:{Exact+match}+qu:{rust-oleum+2089830}:qu ). Do you believe that will suffice or is self etch primer better?

I like to use self etch primer to make sure I have a base that has a good bite in the bare metal & what paint may be left. Depending how things look I may use a high build primer to level things out or regular automotive to ad as a build coat. For the Rustoleum it would be OK but if using the engine enamel I'd use the matching primer.

Thanks. Most appreciated. I believe that I'll be using semi-gloss, not gloss as brought to my attention, apparently adjoining GM paint properties that I was unaware.

I painted mine last year, I wet sanded all the rust off. I used black Duplicolor sandable primer, followed by Duplicolor low gloss black engine enamel. It looks a little duller than the original paint. Seems to be standing up well.
