Paints.........

Does anyone know of a paint chart for frame, engine bay, and engine colors for a 1966 coupe? I am using Krylon 1613 which is a semi flat black for most of the frame. The inner fenders, and some of the engine parts are a glossier black, but it doesn't appear to be a high gloss. I bought a can of medium gloss from Corvette Central which is supposed to be the right color, but it still doesn't look right. Thanks for your help.

The engine compartment blackout (on the inner fenders, firewall, and underside of the hood) should be semi-flat black (an "eggshell" sheen); the Krylon #1613 semi-flat is a good match. Engine bracketry is generally semi-gloss black, slightly glossier than the semi-flat.
