Hello. After removing the body and panels I found several areas that need touch up paint. Which product and color/sheen is the best match for the FFR powder coat?

Thank you!

I've used a Krylon off-the-shelf product that I got from a big-box-store. The color is reasonably close, but the sheen (even though it is "satin") is a little too shiny.

Hopefully, my attempts at blending are successful :rolleyes:

Take a look at Eastwood Chassis Black. It's ~30% gloss.

I've used Eastwood 2K rat rod satin black and SprayMax 2K hot rod satin black (likely same product, different label) and they match very well.
Also VHT roll bar and chassis satin black is a good match.

If you're doing any powder coating, then Prismatic Powder "Silk Satin Black" works well....

Rustoleum gloss black in a can. Comes damn close and it flows nice while drying. Cheap and effective for touch ups.

Alan, the chassis haven’t been gloss black for at least 6 years. They’re a satin finish.

How does POR15 compare to Eastwood?

Regardless of who you get it from. We found the POR15 Top Coat, chassis black, in the rattle can, a very good match to the F5R satin powder-coat. I think I bought the last few cans from Summit.
