72 underhood blackout paint

[Ken C.]

I've read the various threads regarding diff paints
Krylon 1613, SEMS, JD Blitz Black. Eastwoods underhoods. Not much on Quantas line of Flat semi Black? Does anyone have any thoughts on the Quanta line. Car going in next week, And need to pick out a paint.
Prefer to spray with spray gun vs. spray bomb. Looking to paint underhood on a 72.
Thanks
Ken

Re: 72 underhood blackout paint

I bought from Quanta - comes pre-mixed in quart cans. just spray.
Goes on very runny/wet, has the semi flat look like factory.

I sprayed a test panel -looked VERY nice.

Note ----------
I made a mistake when doing mine, my paint guy talked me into adding hardener to protect the paint from heat/wear under the hood.
made the blackout have more a semi gloss look. It gets dinged at the meets for over shinny look.

I would definitely trust Quanta's paint. Use this for inside the wheel wells too

My 2 cents-----

Hi Ken,
I've used some of Quanta's line of various blacks, but, in spray cans. I was pleased with it. I wanted to have some parts with a variation in sheen from the Krylon #1613 and #1601 I used on my 71.
Regards,
Alan

Eastwood's Underhood also comes in quarts that you can spray rather than use aerosol.
