I am talking about for like the intake manifold, block etc on these trucks mine is an 87.

Duple color's "ford semi-gloss" isn't a horrible match but it is too shiny. We need something just one notch down from that not sure if that would be a "satin" or not.

BUT

I didn't find a satin and it looked even more shiny which I thought it would have been the opposite.

I then tried "low gloss black" that was really really dull.

so can anyone help me because engine enamel paint isn't cheap! lol
