Does anyone know of a paint that will look like eastwoods chassis black and underhood black. I would like to detail my frame, suspension and under hood but can not stand to buy cans of paint for 15 bucks each!!

X2, I love this paint and use it on everything that needs to be black, goes on smooth and lasts forever. Just painted my 67 Camaro tail light panel with it for that factory SS look.

What can be used for the under hood? Or is the krylon 1613 the same gloss level.

Rustoluem Semi-Gloss Balck and Brown Rusto for Rusty Metal primer

cheapo and works good

Yes, same gloss level. I use it on all my pulleys, brackets, etc.

I use the Krylon also but they recently changed what they call it. They call it satin now. For brackets & pulleys I use Ace hardware premium paint. They have a semi gloss that has some gloss to it. It is in a black can. Goes on real smooth & lvel & dries fast. Rustoleum is good but it takes forever to dry & remains stickey for a long time.

True, its called Satin Black and has the cone shape cap on it now. I hate when they change stuff I've been using for over 20 years. Their Dull Aluminum (which is similar to cad plating) is now called Matte Aluminum and only Wal Mart carries it now. I use that on all my little parts and brackets that I wish I could have cad plated but can't afford. I have used Rustoluem, too, and it takes forever to dry but does have a nice finish and is tough. I still prefer Krylon because it dries fast and I can keep working instead of waiting for parts to dry.
