Nice overcast day in Missouri for painting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally got my radiator support painted this morning after the rain moved through. Painted it with Eastwood underhood black part number 10045ZP . On the web it says semi gloss but on the can it says low gloss. When doing my research about the paint I read alot of reviews saying it was too glossy but I think it turned out great and looks like it should, not glossy at all. Hope this helps some guys out. And yes you must use a paint gun to spray this paint.

Looks Great

Thanks for sharing
That a great underhood look.
I keep that in my Notes

I like Eastwood's paint.

It has worked good for my projects in the past also.

Looks like that would be good for inner fenders, too?

That's the plan when I get to them.

Nice, very nice.

Thank you for the information and photos of the color. I too may use this information when it comes time to redo my core support and inner fenders.

Looks great! What model gun did you use?

Looks like the same coating/color that you seen on NOS sheet metal when its unboxed.

Yes it does. Alot of time vested in this. Sand blasted the heck out of it then sprayed with SPI epoxy primer and had to wait awhile until the time and weather was right then sanded with 320 and shot the Eastwood paint. I'll do the same with the inner fenders.

I never used the Eastwood product but I always use a low gloss black for chassis and under hood factory look. I also use it for the black accent on grilles and moldings, also dash bezels. The degree of gloss is just right. Yours looks great.

I think it looks great, i personally dopn't like any chassis parts to be glossy
