I too like the VHT Epoxy Satin Black, I might be using it for some contrast. Korbin talked me into using the Rustoleum Professional in the silver can. They have a flat and a gloss black. Not a fan of the flat, so I am using the gloss. I have used the Krylon ColorMAX satin black with good result (Ken recommends this one).

I am going to use a VHT that is a cast stainless/iron color for my steering components an should compliment the gloss black nicely.

Plan to go to the shop after work today. I finish prepping the frame rails and control arms, but not paint, it is raining now and forecasted to rain into the night. Paint might have to wait till this weekend.
Ken & I both were big fans of the OG Krylon Satin Black. Once the formula was changed (for our safety ) Ken was ok w/the 'new' stuff... I wasn't. To me, the VHT is the closest thing; it just isn't as 'driveway engineer' friendly.

I'll check my cans but I'm pretty sure there's a 'Low Gloss' Rustoleum. It strikes the balance between the flat vs gloss. I am getting older so you have me wondering now.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
