Need paint help, please.....

[TECHMAN]

Our "local" hobby supply places (as it is.....) no longer are carrying any "semi gloss black" rattle cans in Tamiya or Testors.....  WHAT are you using to "replace" them?????    Still have a few cans of the Tamiya Gloss Black, and their Semi-gloss Clear, but would rather be able to use "one step"......  ANY help would be appreciated.......

THANKS

I've had really good luck with Krylon colormaxx semi-gloss black.   To my eyes it's a good sheen for vinyl seats.   Pretty cheap too.

I agree with Jeremy. I'm a Krylon guy, through and through. They have semi-gloss, semi-flat and satin. They're all a little different, too.

Duplicolor has a semi-gloss also. I've bought it a couple of times and like it a lot. Its a lacquer but I've used it on some parts w/o primer.

THANKS A LOT GUYS!!!!!!

There are a couple of different outlets here in Columbia that carry the Krylon  products, will give it a try.  Thanks again.   Will also try the Duplicolor.

Do you have access to Mr Hobby products?

 

If so, Mr Surfacer Black 1500 is technically a primer, but it lays smooth enough that it comes out looking semi-gloss.  I use it for most of my semi-gloss black applications.
