Going with black for radiator support/fender wells etc... What do you guys like to use? Gloss/flat? I'll probably use Nason since I can get it easy locally, it's inexpensive and I've used it before. I'm building a driver not a trailer queen fwiw.

Satin black or "chassis black". Both are a satin, non gloss type of paint.

SPI epoxy

POR still needs a layer of paint over it to keep UV from breaking it down. I've heard DP90 looks good bu haven't tried it.
Is that SPI a little on the shiny side?

I don't know, I've only seen 49 year old paint to compare it to!
