Leaf spring paint
I use John Deere Blitz Black on radiator tanks, it is one step above Flat as far as Gloss goes.
I use John Deere Medium Gloss Black for trailer frames, drive pulleys, sealing and undercoating car bodies, is one step down from High Gloss Black as far as shine goes.
If you use the Synthetic Enamel "5 Star Hardener" (if you can find it) that will make it shine just a little more, but speeds up drying and makes it more durable. Although you can use it right out of the can as is, it is self priming and easy to touch up if need be.
It is a synthetic enamel, so if you are going to spray it you need their John Deere Paint Thinner, (same as the old Dupont Fast Dry 3812s reducer).
Can be brushed on, lays out pretty nice if you are quick and smooth with your strokes.
I brushed on this upper engine with the Medium Gloss Black and the Hardener.
You may want to go with the Blitz Black as it has less sheen, looking more like Factory off the shelf parts.
Have to remember to stir these paints up very well as the Flattening Compound settles into the bottom of the cans, as that is what reduces the overall shine.
