Both glossy black & satin black engine paint is available
from Eastwood. Plastikote also has semi flat, satin & gloss black. I've seen
that brand in Pep Boys.

Hi,
In 1961 the Imp engine and
valve covers are black and the air cleaner is gold (same as my 1959, 1962 was
the first year the Imp engine was painted turquoise):
. The "glossy" part in
the name is not entirely accurate as it's a satiny gloss black instead of a
highly shiney black paint. Air cleaner, a/c hard lines, brackets--it
works in all of those places. For the a/c lines, I gently sprayed in
into a glass bottle and then used a camel hair hobby brush to apply it to the
a/c lines (after wiping them down with brake cleaner and B-12). It took
a few applications, but it looked good PLUS no disassembly.
Enjoy!
