For those parts on a 68 GT500KR that are pained semi-gloss back, is any type/brand of semi gloss automotive paint OK? This is for brackets, axle housing etc.
Thanks in advance.
Yes is the short answer.
If your going for a high quality restoration consider that most of the parts you will be painting will have been painted with different brands and types of semi-gloss black paint at different locations around the country by different providers so they would not look as if they painted all with the same paint, at the same time.
Because of that many choose to use multiple brands and levels of semi-gloss to replicate the original look
My advice... dont over think this

Do you know if the old Krylon 1613 in the industrial version now is still a good source-sheen wise-for painting various parts? For a long time I just bought the 1613 at Kmart. Then I found out I didn't like the 1613 about 2007 and found out I needed the industrial version. Now the only Krylon out there locally is the semi gloss black in the rust tough cans. I like that look and have used it on my 69 SCJ engine parts/bay. Gary
Thanks very much gents, much appreciated.
