Frame/firewall paint
Without spending big bucks on Eastwood paint, what would you suggest as good semi gloss rattle can black?

I have used this from Lowe’s and have been pretty happy with it:

If we're talking rattle can paint, I like Krylon 'Rust Tough' gloss black. The gloss tames down to about 50~60% gloss after curing a few months. Very durable and I really like the adjustable fan nozzle. Lays down a very smooth coat.
Personally, I don't like matt finishes under the hood. Too hard to keep clean and they just don't look as good to me. I used a combination of the paint I just mentioned and Rustoleum gloss black in the quart can. With that though, you have to reduce it and have a way to spray it. Between those two, I have a slight variance in gloss levels and it looks better to me. Fender wells, core support, finger guard are slightly glossier on my car than the firewall, cowl and frame.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
