Topic: Semi-gloss Black Spray Paint

[Countrysquire]

What is the best spray can paint available now for semi-gloss black?  I don?t like the current version of Krylon 1613 at all. Too dull and ?soft? looking for me. I do like the looks of the current Eastwood chassis black, but it dries slower than 1980?s Rustoleum, plus it?s not available locally. Looking for something that is close to the right amount of gloss and doesn?t look like it came out of a spray can.

I?m sure this has been covered multiple times in the past, but this site isn?t the best resource to search for ?semi-gloss black? and get a manageable number of results!

Thanks,
Bobby

I too really enjoyed the old Krylon 1613.  I recently bought some semi gloss at Napa Auto Parts that looked and dried the same way as the Krylon use to.  I'm not in town now to look at the can to get the make and number of the product, but all Napa stores should carry it.

The Krylon is still available, it's just been named "krylon 1613 industrial".  Google it.

I get it at my local Granger.

I have the new industrial 1613, it just doesn?t seem ?black? enough to me when compared to original parts. The valve cover breather cap in the photo was painted with the new 1613.

This is a really nice deeper satin black, easy to apply, multiple sources online:

You'll want the 3680102 number

Am I looking at in the wrong places (amazon) because it 17-18.00 seems to be the price range . Maybe that is typical.

It's called "market priced". There are other descriptive reasons.

It's a bit pricey.  I usually buy it in a case of 6.

Everything else is going up so I guess our preferred spray paints are no exception.

I think the SEM semi-gloss also sprays a bit flat. Either in can or in bulk. It also damages easier than others.

I still like Rust-oleum semi gloss (aka Satin). If you spray it a bit lighter it's a bit duller.
Really slather it on and it gets shinier.
I hate their finger contoured spray buttons. They clog if the paint sits too long and since the can sprays upside down that won't clean it either. I've taken to blowing it out backwards with air and putting the spray button in thinner.

The spray-max stuff is nice as you can lay it down wet and it doesn't dry gloss.  Very consistent results and easy to touch-up if needed.
