Locked '74 Frame touch up paint recommendation?


 

I have a '74 with some nicks and areas where the paint rubbed off.? I've tried two paints already and one was much too glossy (VHT Epoxy gloss black) , the other was a shade off, and still a bit too glossy (A Ford semi-gloss black).??

Has anybody found a good rattle can paint to match the '74 era frame/subframe/swingarm parts??


 

Eastwood has a series of Chassis Black Aerosol paints that work extremely well. I haven¡¯t used them on my BMW¡¯s but they were excellent on the BSA¡¯s. I really like the gloss black and if it is too shiny, just knock it down with rubbing compound.
Matching old black paint is tough because the old paint is oxidized.

I have used Rust-Oleum semi gloss for many successful light restorations

Concur, used that after grinding the rust down (and priming first) the top tube that holds the master ATE cylinder.?
