1966 K Code correct paint finish for engine bay

[Gastill]

Hi there, so my 1st time here. I have a 66 K Code fastback and have started a tidy up of the engine bay. My question is simply this, what is the correct original black paint type for the engine bay.  It seems to be a satin finish but some small areas that are matt finish. Any advise welcome. Thanks Greg

Contact Sean at BossKraft(advert on sidebar to the right). He is a concourse judge and knows all the details.

It is satin black

Black 2 pack with flat clear will give it the correct look.

All 1966 and up ford engines are painted corporate blue , 64-65 engines are painted black......... p.s do you have your hipo in the registry ????

my apologies, your question is about the engine bay, not the engine

If your going for the Concours look and already have the factory paints within the engine bay, you'll need to replicate these. 

Also the engine color is Ford Chassis black.

64.5-65 engine block colour is black, however the rocker covers & air cleaner are different depending on the engine size.

Like I said black base and matte 2K clear gives the satin look and is every durable
