Painting my firewall

Quick question fellas. Which store bought spray paint, if any, matches the original black color used in the engine bay for GM trucks?

Re: Painting my firewall

Yes. That's what I'm thinking. I would to do like a gloss or a semi gloss. Something that matches the fender wells and radiator support as closely as possible. How does ur gloss compare?

Re: Painting my firewall

Kinda splitting hairs, but Rustoleum's Satin black still has some gloss in it, it looks more "factory" to me.
