TECHMAN Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 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 DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited April 17, 2023 by atomicholiday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straightliner59 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatMan Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TECHMAN Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) ??? 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.

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.
