Need 70 GMC Factory BB Resto advice - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I would like to make sure my front inner wheel wells are painted the correct factory color (in the engine compartment). Can someone please advise me on the paint code or what would pass as correct.
Thanks,
Reno

Check out all the paints on Eastwood.com, they have an under-hood black that is appropriate.

It is a semi flat or egg shell black. Many put too much gloss and that is not correct, it should how ever have a slight "sheen" more than just flat black
