Seeking the SEMI-GLOSS paint manufacturer and paint code that will pass NCRS when applied to the following 1960 Corvette Engine parts:
Crank Balancer Pulley
Water Pump Pulley
Generator Pulley
Fan Blade
Oil Filter Canister


Your directional assistance is greatly appreciated.

Mark, it is not that difficult. Select a rattle can of semi-gloss paint at your favorite auto parts store and you will get what you are looking for on the pulleys. I don't know about the oil canister as I had mine powder coated with gloss black paint and silk screen instructions. Never received a deduct on pulleys or the oil canister.

I used the same rattle can of semi-gloss paint on the fan blade unit as well.

Rattle can paint will cause the silk screen instructions on the oil canister to peel off. Better to have the canister powder coated.
