Re: Re: Low gloss black paint for engine compartment

For later Mustangs you'll need to use something other than the straight black for interiors of course. Since they are not really black (Ford referred to them as black) but a very dark charcoal metallic color

> We use Krylon Semi-flat Black over bare steel. Wipe the stripped engine compartment with metal conditioner and solvent. It dries a perfect semi-gloss black. Need to touch up? Spray some in the lid and apply with small brush for chips. This works for all the classic Mustangs and also matches the factory black interior.
