Durable Matt Black aerosol to do my front end blackout???

Got any recommendations for a quality & durable matt black aerosol that I can use to spray my front blackout (on the rad yoke etc) on the Challenger?
I've got cheapo cans but if there is a good quality paint that will be tough (chip resistant) and long lasting I'll get it. I'd rather use an aerosol just for the convenience (and lower pressure thus less overspray), but if it REALLY made a difference I could always use the spray gun.
Any suggestions?

I found Tough Black to be very good.

Plasticote seems ok I've used it for all sorts of jobs and it stays on.

Yeah I used plasticote on my charger tail panel. I'd recommend that though I did use the satin one and not matt black.

Sounds good, I found four potentially suitable Plastikote Matt blacks, dunno which you guys used (or whether there might be an advantage using, for example, the hi-temp one - maybe it is more durable, or the Enamel?)
Enamel
Metal Protekt
Rust Not
Heat Shield

Sorry Gavin, I thought they did matt black as well.

I blacked out my 72 challenger grille using Metal Protekt in matt, it seems to have stayed on there ok with no chips or anything. I used 3 coats but didn't laquer.
