My personal favorite and a nice match for what was there originally is Krylon 1613 semi-gloss black. I have been using this same paint for engine compartent/pulleys/brackets and all other black item on Mustangs for 25 years and it is still the best out of the can paint I have used....and at WalMart it is only about $2.50 a can.
