[SCG] 1966 convertible top frame - correct black paint?

[Frank DuVal]

That would be a 60 degree gloss finish.

See:

I know this is a 1965 page, but it is the best I can find on the 
internet. Note the 60 degree list includes folding top parts.

DL-9248 is the code for black. The local PPG dealer should have a 
current formula based on this original number.

One can always buy full (100 degree) gloss paint and add flatening to it 
to get a satin finish.

I used to use Sikkens Rally Black for the engine sheet metal. It would 
probably work here also if it is still available.

Upon inspecting the majority of late model black top frames at The Ranch, it appears there is a small amount of gloss in the black paint.  Are there any paint code numbers available for this paint?  Should I have it painted with a spray gun or are there any spray paint brands available that will get the shade of black close to the original?
