Choosing Between a Smooth Paint Format and Textured Coating
I cut and drilled the camera-mount brackets before coating them black.
The roof-mount work used textured aerosol bedliner.
I also bought canned flat-black enamel among the finishing supplies.

My Takeaway from This Job
The mount photographs show the black-coated assembly stage. The useful choice among these purchases and alternatives is the finish and application format: flat canned enamel, gloss canned enamel, or textured aerosol coating.
The bracket shape, drilled holes and coating were separate parts of finishing the mount.

Brush-on coating
Flat black enamel gives prepared hardware a low-sheen appearance without the texture of bedliner. A brush-on can is convenient for smaller parts where a spray setup would cover too much surrounding area. Clean and prepare the piece first, then arrange it so the brush can reach edges without touching the wet face. Keep the finish choice consistent across matching pieces. Flat, satin and gloss are separate appearance decisions, even when the underlying color is black in each case.
No. Flat describes the sheen. Bedliner and hammered finishes add separate texture characteristics.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The gloss-black Rust-Oleum enamel changes the finish sheen while retaining a canned-paint format. Herculiner aerosol changes both the application format and the surface texture.
This Herculiner aerosol applies a textured protective coating to smaller areas. It can be useful for compatible exterior van trim or coating touch-ups.
