Are you looking for a color? Just wanting to keep it all black? If you're going the black route, you might look into Por 15. Very durable and supposedly stops rust.
Ditto on the POR 15...the stuff is extremely durable...not sure who sells it, though...last time I got it at a swap meet/car show. Another alternative is Eastwood's "chassis black." It's an epoxy paint designed specifically for undercarriages...it's the perfect OEM satin black. My father has used it extensively in the restoration work he has done...it's a very nice product. They're a board sponsor ----->

If iwere doing it again I would of taped off the brake lines.
I tried to leave as much of the stock paint that looked good untouched like the floor pans etc. POR15 is a great choice for paint also. Just the one stop shopping from Eastwood is fine for me. I buy all of my polishing compounds, buffing wheels etc from them.

Color, do what you want or try and match the orginal parts.
Apply with a roller and brush?
