Details
Underhood Black™ is the perfect lacquer paint for the correct OEM-matching finish under the hood...choose semi-gloss or matte
Underhood Black™ Semi-Gloss is just the right 10-20 percent semi-gloss finish for most radiator supports, inner fender walls, underhood brackets, and other underhood parts. The Matte formula duplicates the near-zero gloss finish you find in many older cars for those parts. Both formulas resist chipping, scratches and light impacts.
- Exceptional adhesion for an engine-compartment paint
- Just degrease parts first for a factory-like finish
- 11-oz. aerosol can covers 6 square feet; 1-quart can covers 48 square feet

About Eastwood Underhood Black Paint
Underhood Black is the correct shade of black underhood paint for engine-compartment paint on radiator supports, inner fender walls, lug wrenches, jack bases, underhood brackets and other parts. Black underhood paints from typical hardware stores are either too thick, too glossy, or the wrong color.
Just clean, degrease, and prepare the parts well (use our Self-Etching Primers), then apply this engine-compartment paint for a professional, factory-like, underhood paint finish. Acrylic lacquer withstands up to 250 degreesF and goes on thin for a smooth finish that doesn’t hide surface details. Do not use with enamel primers.
Due to regulations pertaining to paint recycling, at this time we are unable to ship this product to Alberta, Canada.

Q. How do I apply this underhood paint?
A. Surface must be clean, dry, and free of dirt, grease and oil. For maximum protection, first prime with a self-etching primer or epoxy primer before top-coating. For best results, use when can is between 70 and 90 degrees F. This engine-compartment paint may be used over bare metal, self-etching primer, or Rust Encapsulator.

Say "NO" to underhood paint
(Posted on 3/17/13)
Review by Ryan -
I never write reviews but after using this product I felt others need to know how disastrous this paint is! It has zero resistance to chemicals that are found "under the hood"! It will completely wipe off in one swipe if you have any drips or spills on it. Engine paint, chassis paint or any other paint with chemical resistance is a better option.I need to do some repainting under my 72 k20 hood. GrrrrQuality Price Value -

Review by olyray389 -
I have had good results using the underhood black matte & semi gloss. I have painted bumper brackets,pulleys,steering column, p/s brackets, all looking very good. Use black primer to extend the paint coverage in the can. have not had chipping problems..just ordered more for wheel fender wells & firewall for 66 GTO..suface prep is everything when painting... "the paint is only going to perform as good as the surface your bonding it to", old painter's rule.Price Value Quality -
Nice Finish

Review by Don -
I've used this product extensively on a '69 Z-28 restoration, and have had good results. I have not experienced any of the quality issues stated in the other reviews, and agree with the review by CDK concerning its application and amount used. My only complaint would be that I wish the product went a little farther than it does. I did the radiator support with one can using black primer as the base, but would have liked to do one more light coat before the can ran out.Price Value Quality -

Very poor product!

Review by Jim -
This is a lacquer based product using 50 year old technology. Very poor resistance to chipping, abrasion and chemicals. It will not hold up. Only use it if you place 'for sale' signs in the window of your ride immediately. After spending many hours on prepping your metal, do yourself a huge favor and use either an enamel or better yet a catalyzed product such as urethane. Otherwise you will have wasted all of your time.Quality Price Value -
Nice gloss but chips easily

Review by chpjr -
I'm using this paint for some aluminum engine panels for my kit car. The shade and gloss are right on, but the problem I've found is that the paint chips easily. It doesn't take much for it to flake off.Value Quality Price -
This is the finish you're looking for...

Review by CDK -
I sprayed my engine compartment/inner fenders/radiator support with this paint and the finish is virtually identical to the factory color and sheen. I am not aware of any other aerosol paint on the market that will get this close to OEM.Value Quality Price
My favorite thing about this paint is its resistance to oily fingerprints. You can clean oils off of this paint without them staining (unlike all other low gloss paints I've tried). I didn't have any problems with the cans or nozzles (I've used 6 cans now), nor did I have any issues with variations in the sheen. The paint dries wildly fast and lays down smooth because it's on the thinner side (I suspect it's this way to obtain the unique finish). Use a black primer to reduce the number of coats you'll need to cover.
For reference, I needed 1.5 cans to paint the radiator support on my Chevy K10.

Little disappointed...

Review by Mike -
I'm working on a 1986 Buick Grand National. I sand blasted, primed (with black primer), and then painted some of the underhood brackets and fuel rail with the aerosol version of this paint. I found that the spray had a hard time picking up the paint solids from the can and depositing them smoothly and evenly on the parts, and this was after shaking vigorously for several minutes. Even after three fairly heavy coats, there is still variation in the sheen of the paint as you look across the surfaces of a part. The sheen ranges from nearly flat to nearly semi-gloss on the same part. I also noticed that dry, black overspray particles got everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Clean-up in the basement took forever. Overall, the sheen of this paint is a little flatter than the factory black paint that was used on this vehicle. Quite frankly, the rustoleum primer I used looked smoother and more consistent than this paint did. If I ever do this again, I will order the quart and try running it through my sprayer or air brush, or I will try a different paint. The aerosol cans were just not that good.Price Value Quality -
Underhood Black Spray Can
(Posted on 5/29/11)
Review by Master -
I have no complaints about the paint itself. But you would think for the price you would get a decent spray can to dispence it with. Better start excersizing your finger now. It is HARD to use. Even with a trigger attachment you get worn out. After half a can you cant keep the spray going due to fatique. Average paint in a super cheap can only gets 3 stars.Value Quality Price -
