I like Dupli-color bumper and trim paint. It will not show a touch up either.

But have yet to try it.

Krylon 1613 is also available through MSC Industrial Supply. They also have a Corvette Forum discount. It drops the price to around $4.50 per can.
MSC also has the fastest shipping I have ever seen. If you order in the AM, chances are you'll have it the next day.
I order it a case at a time. A forum member works there.

I've used Rustoleum Satin Black for years and have always been pleased with the results.

I've used both.

The Rustoleum paint has a deeper, richer black than the Krylon paint and looks better in bright sun. Of course Krylon formula may have been updated since I quit using it, but "back in the day", it had a grayish cast (or "less black") in bright sun.

One advantage of the Krylon is rapid drying time. Rustoleum takes a day or more to dry/cure/whatever it does. (Once dry, tho, it's tough stuff.)

I've had real good luck with John Deer Blitz Black. It's a semi gloss/satin. Used both spray can & gallon.

Side note, my last couple cans of industrial Krylon 1613 were a bit too much on the glossy side of things.

If you want LESS gloss than a semi-gloss provides you might want to stay away from Rustoliem Satin. Used two cans before I realized it was drying to glossy.

Krylon 1613 is tough as nails. I used it on my '54 five years ago.
