Looking for that perfect satin low gloss paint for firewall / engine bay

[CalSpeed]

I have alot of cars getting engine bay and frame painted with nice semi gloss / chassis type paints but I see alot of pro touring cars with that perfect satin "sheen" that is just like alot of the satin black powdercoat parts we install.

Anyone know an exact paint I can give my painter for this?

Im doing a 70 chevelle - ls3 etc etc for my wife right now and want to get it just right.

I used the SEM Hot Rod Black and really like it. Its catalyzed so it dries hard and is durable. Sprayed the firewall, underhood, and misc parts. I'll get some pics up later today.

DP90 epoxy primer works well too. Yes, I know it is a primer, but it is catalyzed and very durable.

JOHN DEERE BLITZ BLACK!!!!!! This paint is arguably some of the best you can buy. It resists oil, gas and most chemicals. I used to work for a John Deere dealer and we sold a LOT of this particular paint. I generally keep a case of it on hand all the time.
