[DMCForum] Re: Pics of glossier black windshield trim?

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

When it comes down to it, of ALL the differnt shades and styles of 
paints out there, it always seems that the Krylon semi-flat black 
looks the best.

I strip the pars bare, clean it, primer it 1 or 2 times. Then 1000 
grit wet sand it to smooth. Pain it 3-4 cpats or krylon semi-flat 
black using 1500 grit wetsanded between coats, and the results are 
fabulous. I just finished the corvette rear brake light this way, and 
it looks dead on stock in this color. 

If you want a stock look, that looks brand new, got with Krylon semi-
flat black.

Best of luck,

Joe O'Brien
