Best black paint to use on cab

<< < (2/5) > >>

Jdurg:
For my coin-door, I used Rustoleum Hammered Black Finish.  However, the finish came out a bit too glossy, so I then did a final coat with a normal Rustoleum Semi-Gloss Black.

After I finished, a buddy of mine asked why I didn't go to a local Auto Parts store and pick up a can of the truck-bed liner stuff.  It's textured like the original powder coat should be, black like I want it to be, and dried into a rock hard shell which will be very durable.  If I ever need to restore another coin door, this is the path that I will take.

ArtMAME:
I have used Rustoleum Painter's Touch Semi-gloss black from Home Depot applied with a white foam roller and obtained great results.

I am currently using Olympic (I think) Pure Black Gloss from Lowes applied the same way, and I don't like it as much as the Rustoleum.

The Rustoleum stuff does not come in Gallon cans (at least not where I go).  I am going back to Rustoleum once I use up this can of Olympic.

cool, looks like you all favor rustoleum.  I will check home depot and see what they have.  Hopefully they make them in gallon sizes. 

thanks again

I'm also testing a new option. It's a can of black spray paint that's called "Patio Finish". It dries to a "sandy" textured finish.

Let us know how that goes, I do want the finish on my coin door to be as close to the origonal as possible without blowing the budget. (also the paint job on the cab as well)

Also, I appologize to the thread owner for derailing the tread from how to paint a cab to how to paint a coindoor.
