Default Paint for inside panels

Hi guys,

What are you using to paint the inside of front fenders, hood, etc.? I was considering the black DP primer, but I was advised to topcoat that with a urethane for extra protection. Then, I would have to add a dulling agent, which seems overly complicated. Is there anything in a one-step process? I am kinda curious about that Kirker hot rod black.

If you have a PPG jobber in your area they should have a formula for mixing the correct tone of Black for underhood use. In fact if they have a book of paint chips there should be a listing there where they can mix it for you.

I have used PPG Omni line with a flattening agent with good results. Their top line stuff can not be flattened. You have to play around with the flattening agent to get it the right sheen of black.

Eastwood has lots of ready to spray blacks that you can buy to use in a spray gun.

The inside of two front fenders I've seen on a car were dull gray. It was paint too.

If you decide to go with black, I've found that gloss black Rustoleum in the quart cans, reduced with a bit of Acetone sprays really nice and gives a nice semigloss sheen. It does not spray out glossy and it's very, very tough.....and cheap. The back of the can actually tells you how much acetone to add for spraying.
