I know this may have been posted before, but here goes:

In the great collective experience out there, what store bought paints come close the original factory gloss levels for things like the engine bay, wheel wells, radiator, the various other componenets (brackets, air cleaner, etc)? Any suggestions for the "cast iron" look for master cylinders, etc?

I know Eastwood's and all the mail order places sell these paints, at a price, but what can be found at the local Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc? It would be kind of handy to have a list made of acceptable (read "cheap") alternatives to the stuff(read "expensive") sold by the mail order shops.
