I was wondering if anyone had the correct paint code for the semi-gloss engine compartment in PPG paint. Because I have primered using the PPG red Oxide I would prefer to not mix product brands.

Thanks in advance
Mike

it is not going to be the color code, (black is pretty much black) but the degree of flatness... i would say take a good, color picture of what you feel the engine bay should look like to your paint supplier, and have him mix up a single stage urethane with the proper flattener mixed in.from there it is simply a matter of reducing, and adding catalyst in the proper proportions (with a flattened top coat proper mixture is critical)
