appliance paint works great on carburetors but haven't seen semi gloss black in a long time.

My favorite is gloss black rustoleum. I also use Krylon satin black on my radiators. I paint the bigger stuff with quarts of rustoleum in my spray gun. Question, is the appliance Rustoleum really gasoline proof.

Lots of ways to do this and lots of opinions. Many of what has been mentioned, I have done at times. Newer Rustoleum engine paints dry much quicker than older Rustoleum paints. Epoxy spray can paint works OK too ( not really a 2 part epoxy, but OK ). However, if you really want a durable hard surface that resists any chemicals, I would use either of these two paints. You can actually brush it and it will not look like it has been brushed. But those of you with spray guns, air brushes even, can spray it.

But the stuff is pricey, and if I were starting another restoration, I might experiment with baking appliance epoxy and see how it compares.

I prefer Duplicolor...dries quickly and smells better than the competition.

I use Rustoleum "Painters Touch" line. The can is black on the bottom, white in the middle and a blue stripe around the top. They claim 2X coverage. It covers well and dries very quickly.

I like the red oxide sandable primer and the semi gloss black but I think it comes in high gloss too.

I also like Eastwood Chassis Black. It is epoxy, needs no primer, dries to a semigloss and is tough. It's pretty pricey compared to Rustoleum
