Best black paint to use on cab
onespriggan:
Hello, can anyone recommend a nice black color to use on the sides of my cab? Is one type better than another (like sherman williams black, or Home Depot generic brand)? I know for the best results you have to thin the paint and sand over and over correct?
thanks

I used rustoleum; oil-based enamel, eggshell finish. No thinning, and applied with a foam brush:

Speaking of best black paint to use on a cab, I just bought a coinmech system off of thenasty which needs some TLC (mostly in the aesthetics dept). What would be a good paint and paint method for a coindoor? I was thinking to just mask over stuff and spray it with a flat black paint from a rustoleum can...And then give it a thin clear coat from a spray can as well to protect the paint... Anyone here touch up the paint on a coindoor and have suggestions?

On my first machine, i took the whole coin mech apart an used a $15 sandblasting gun from Sears to remove the paint down to bare metal. I sprayed itwith a thin coat of automotive sanding primer and followed with 3 coats for Rustoleum Satin black. Turned out nice. You can find pics in my build thread (link in my sig)

Don't mask over... take the time to remove parts, clean them, and only paint those that need to be black.
I use many many thin coats of Tremclad Semi-gloss anti-rust spray paint. Bake the parts in the sun for additional hardness.
