Does anyone know of a hardware store type of spray paint (Krylon, Rustoleum, etc.) that is similar in finish to Eastwood underhood black? I have a couple of small spots I have to touch up and I really don't want to spend $20-$25 for a can of spray paint for the small amount I need.

Krylon Semi Flat/Semi Gloss and SEM Trim Black come to mind; I have a can or two of several different brands & sheens for the little stuff.
The actual sheen of the various blacks varied depending on who made/supplied the part back in the day.

Just in time for ? BBB, SS gets a 3.2% increase but they raise the tax brackets by 7% to offset inflation 🤪🍻

Whatever paint you select,it is a good idea to apply some to a piece of scrap metal first. After it dries / cures, compare the sample to your car's paint to make sure it matches.
