Why do you want to use Bill Hirsch's paint on the underside of the fender? Why not just paint the underside with the same black paint as the topside. If the fenders finish is adhering well, I would just sand the fender with 400 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper and paint it with a paint like PPG Concept. Concept is a single stage paint that give the look of enamel like Ford used. Base coat clear coat gives a "wet" look like modern cars. However, it's your car, so you can do what you want.

For what it is worth, I always sandblast my sheetmetal items, prime it with an epoxy primer like DP90 and finish it with Concept.
