Restoring 1969 Radiator. What is the right shade of Black?

[Rocket]

Does anyone have a suggested brand and or shade of black to use for correctly restoring a 1969 Barracuda radiator?

Thanks

Im interested in this as well. I have seen a few restored/ repainted radiators that look okay but the paint gets tacky when hot and then fingerprints, etc blemish the paint. I was told some old school radiator shops have the correct black high temp paint.

Thanks for the recommendation. Is the stock finish a semi-gloss or a.gloss finish. My dad shop uses a high gloss finish which I thought may be to glossy versus the original finish.

The thing about the Eastwood rad paint, is it is a special formula. It allows the radiator to breath. Something like that. Not just off the shelf rattle can paint from the do it center.
