chassis black , yes!  by the quart.   it is an awsome high solid good
coverage paint.  on top of that it is epoxy hardened.   the stuff holds up
under adverse conditions in places like undersides of front inner fenders
and engine compartments.  i have had very good results on customer's cars.
i did a complete 69 corvette chassis in the stuff after it was chemically
stripped at redi-strip in allentown.  that was 7years ago with no signs of
it's finish failing and the car is in chessapeake va..  my 67 impala 's
underside and engine compt. are done in the stuff too.  and doing a 72
cutlass442 that the paint has been used on also.  seriously krylon semigloss
black is a good paint for brackets and other stuff that you can spray bomb.
but when doing big area's you can not beat loading up a quart of paint in
the big gun and coloring your world!!!  i am a bit suspicious about the
formulas of all the named black paints.  like all the same can with diffrent
labels?  i have been told by my radiator expert that painting a radiator
with an enamel paint is an insulator instead of a material that would assist
in heat dissipation.   the black paint he uses has to be heated up to cure
and is a non insulating finish that looks like gloss black when cured.  evry
time i tell him i need a certain finish on a radiator and i need him to
refran from spraying it black i get the scolding about heat retention vs.
dissipation!  so , as far as eastwood goes i am uncertain about the specific
formulas they are selling?  but i do know the chassis black stuff really
works, it just is expensive.   you could match the finish with dupont code
13 black by mixing in flatner and test shooting it untill the desired
semigloss finish is achieved.  but the time invested, and materials invested
at that point would honestly represent more than you are paying eastwood for
the quarts of chassis black.
