Thanks, it's a semi gloss I guess.
Yes semigloss , holds up well and you can get decent results out of the can.
NAPA also sells a chassis black paint I had good results with.

The OP is asking about spray cans so I doubt 100% OE is on his mind. Powder coat in 45% black and call it a day.

Chassis black from Eastwood has proven to be a very durable paint out of a spray can for me.
I've used thier Extreme chassis black a bunch of times now and am very happy with it.

Oh, and nice thing about the chassis paint, if you ever do scratch it (not easy to do!) or what not...you can always touch it up...

Alkyld enamels, such as Rustoluem, two biggest faults are chalking due to UV light exposure (from the sun, etc.) and chemical resistance. Adding some hardener will increase the chemical resistance considerably. Parts underneath the car receive minimal UV light exposure, so Rustoleum with some hardener added should hold up well. This type of finish would be acceptable for a summer time week-end car.
Obviously, a person could spend more money and use an epoxy primer and urethane paint or power coat chassis parts. These are superior coatings. I would seriously consider these finishes for vehicles driven on salt treated roads.
On a vehicle which is driven, any chassis paint or coating will be chipped and scratched over time. So a finish which can be easily repaired is usually a good idea for a frequently driven vehicle.
