Re: 71 Chevy firewall paint
I have used Rustoleum on a couple of builds and like it a lot. I get the flat black in a gallon can. I can't say if it is real close to the way the general did it, but I like the outcome. Most of the time, I thin it and spay it initially, but over the course of the build...it gets marred and I end up brushing another coat on or two. Flat black Rustoleum is the most forgiving paint to touch up that I have found and it is affordable and can be found everywhere. I use it every where under the body/bed, engine bay, and hidden areas of the cab. I bet I have 4 gallons of paint in those areas combined...lol. I would not recommend it for vehicle that is going to try and win some big shows, but it is very user friendly and durable for the common build.
