2zwudz Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Is that a gloss or a semi gloss black??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 If this is for the trim around the windows that is to represent the black rubber that is holding the glass in place you have several options. You could use brush paint in different shades of gloss black depending on the effect you are trying to accomplish. Masking the trim and spray paint the area, but this would require a lot of masking. There are several paint pens on the market that could be used. At one time Bare Metal Foil offered a black foil for this type of detailing. I remember some mentioning that the black coloring could easily be damaged and even removed while installing so extra care would be needed if you use that.

Note that Testor also has a "semigloss black" in the little bottles but it is NOT the same thing, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I use water based paint for window, the cleanup when you mess it up is much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Never heard of Black Chrome Trim paint. Might just have to look into it. I've been using a black Sharpie. Seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to work. I recommend it highly. It is semi-gloss but it leans a bit towards gloss. It lays down pretty well if you don't stroke it too much. It also covers pretty well. I have had black Sharpie fade to purple over time even without sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Yes, Sharpie black permanent marker is really a very dark purple. Plus it dries shiny, where most black trim is either semigloss or satin finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCRWDRVR Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I use a Elmers black paint pen, it dries semi gloss so it looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
