3M Rocker Panel Spray, part # 05911. You can use it over or under a paint. I used this to recoat repaired rockers on a number of MBs over the years, and it gives you the exact texture that the OEM stuff did.
I usually put it down over primer, then shot the requisite MB flat black chassis paint over it. Looked just like it came from the factory.
