In the midst of restoring the air cleaner I recieved from Brad. I've sandblasted it and filled in the rust pits. After a good coat of high build primer, I'm going to need to paint it. What is the correct shade of black? I've seen gloss and semi-gloss. I suspect semi-gloss. Is there a brand of rattle can tha...

I can only go so far down with the engine because of the mounts and other parts being close. I could put the rear end at degree's, but under full throttle it may raise another 3 degree's. By the way I'm installing a LS1 motor.
