Front end blackout paint

[Eric Pearson]

Just wanted to share this with everyone. I painted the blackout on the roadrunner this weekend. A friend of mine is restoring a challenger and used this paint for his front end blackout. I went to the paint stores and they said that they could only sell me a base coat/clear coat with a flatting agent for $100.00. They also offered the PPG Hot rod black for $ 120. So my friend suggested SEM Trim black. I got it off Amazon for $44. I hope that this helps out anyone that is restoring their car

Yep, good stuff. Their aerosols work well too.

Also, John Deere Blitz Black works well too. Fairly inexpensive until you add optional hardener.

I am happy with SEM Trim black. Used rattle cans.

Looks like you bought enough for 40 cars. I use less than one rattle can per car. But.....yes SEM black is a great choice.

SEM Trim Black is great stuff. I did my front end blackout last week with DOM16 though, as there was surface rust in some areas and it should give excellent rust protection. It's basically the same thing as POR-15 but a Canadian product and less expensive up north here. It goes on glossy though. I also didn't have my engine pulled so it was able to be brushed on.
