Default Engine Bay paints

Hey guys. My GTO restoration guide says to use 60% gloss black on things such as pulley's, upper and lower r/a pans, inner fender wells ect..ect. What paints have a 60% gloss finish? What brand is best? Alot of people mention SEM 39143 black trim is really good. I dont know. Also do you use a normal primer? Or a primer at all. I have access to a bead blaster so the parts will be blasted. Looking to do alot of the smaller things myself. So looking to do it correctly the first time. Thanks

I'm interested to hear on this too. That was a battle to get that right look. It was always too flat or too shiney.
