Fellas,

Is there a rattle can spray paint that is a match to the Vivid black? If so what brand, style etc...

I have a couple of parts i want to paint, but don't want to have them done by a professional or have them powder coated.

thanks for the heads up

 

All quality black paint is the same so match is not an issue. You'll need a black basecoat and a clear coat to achieve the same depth as the hd finish. Regular glossy black spray paint won't have the same look - you need a base & clear.

Good luck,
Steve

 

do you have any suggestions on the base? or clear?

 

I have had good luck with Krylon sanding primer and duplicolor automotive Gloss Black. I sand the first coat of primer with 400 grit and the second with 600. first color coat with 600 and the results look very good. I also use Krylon clear without sanding. Take your time. prep the surface and you will be amazed at how good a spray can can look.

 

HD pn#98606DH vivid black and clear is 98606EK pn#'s for the spray cans

 

Good info, but as pigpipes said, black is black in any quality brand. I don't know how much "Hundred Dollar" wants for "vivid" black, but I'd have to guess it's expensive??

$.02

I've seen it on the forum, but haven't tried it yet.

 

$19.60 retail each can, both clear and vivid

 

Ouch. !!

And HD doesn't even make the paint, they just have someone make and label it for them.

 

As with most things in life
