Thread: flat black paint

I paint a little but never flat black. I,m thinking ppg hot rod black. my question would be can you touch up spot paint or repair spots without spots showing, will it blend in or leave marks?

No way to touch up or blend "hot rod black suede". You need to fix something, expect to paint the whole side of the car. No guarantee it will match 100% as it is very susceptible to heat and humidity.

Not so if you use SPI Matte Black.

Sorry to disagree, but even SPI has the same issues.

Bill, Just did it last week with SPI, on 1 that I painted last summer, 96 and 60% humidity. Last week when I sprayed it it was raining outside =100% humidity and booth was only up 2 around 65 degrees. It's all in how ya pull the trigger and what reduxer/hardner you use. But what do I know, I've only been @ this paintin game for over 45 years.

use the spi . it can be repaired easily .
