It was rustoleum in a rattle can... some auto quality stuff. I cant remember the exact name, but the can was mostly black with a rust colored triangle on it. It was "Semi-Flat" black.

I liked it better than like krylon semi flat cause the cans were high quality, as was the paint... and it sprayed out in a fan-like pattern vs. just circular.

If i were you i would just spray a black base coat then spray a flat clear. This ensures a quality paint job and will look alot better than just flat black sprayed on.

thats just my .02

How about flat green.....single stage with a flattening agent.




The second pic is closer to the actual color, and the shinny spot is water. It just got a bath before the pic PM me if you have any Q's about the paint.

Thanks And to the OP, I would suggest looking into a single stage with a flattening agent, it takes some time to get your mixing ratios figured out, but you can make it exactly how you want it. It also saves you a step, and time, in the paint booth. Thats just my two cents, good luck
