I will post an update when I get home. |
Finally got around to doing this.

Not sure temp limit (i can check the label when i go out to the shop), ive been using it for engine tin with great results for at least 5 years. Small bare spots do t cause issue without primer

I talked to a SEM representative today and was told part#39143 was a satin (15-20% gloss) and part#39063 is a gloss (70% gloss).
Sounds like the gloss may be closer to what I am looking for. I'll take some pics of the SEM gloss and the original black paint and post the results here.

Looking to paint my steering column, handbrake lever, pedals, etc. and am looking to use something in a spray can. Is there a gloss black in a spray can that is close to the 70% gloss black paint?
Seems most semi-gloss I have tried have been too flat and just does not look right. |
I think the cheap stuff from Home Depot is close. (At $0.97 per can, it's cheap enough to test.) I have used it quite a bit, both on things that have been prepped well, and on stuff that I just did a quickie clean up, and I always get the same result.
