All,
Thanks for your suggestions. Funny how so many people have so many ideas on this.

ADiCarlo... I didn't think of DupliColor. I will see if they have a semi-gloss. Thanks!

65_LS1_T56.... Never tried SEM products. I don't know where to get it. I may have to do further research on this.

intocarss... Interesting that HD carries Krylon out there, but Rustoleum up here. Pep Boys doesn't carry the semi-flat at the few stores I called. I agree the satin is not great. I have a can of Krylon semi-flat coming today from Amazon. I hope it has the right sheen.

tubbed69... Thanks for that suggestion. I would have never thought of E-Bay for paint. Kinda hate to have to mail order every time I need a can or 2 of black. It takes days to get & freight usually ain't cheap.

JB64CHEVELLE... We don't have Orchard Supply up here. I wonder who private labels it for them? Usually 1 of the bigger mfrs that has their own brand(s).

Sieg....I am disappointed you are not impressed with the Krylon Semi-flat. I was hoping that was the answer. I am not one who likes to watch paint dry, so I think the X-O may drive me crazy. I am certain to stick my finger in it like an 8 year old and have to start over.

Ron in SoCal... I didn't know Sikkens comes in aerosol? If it does, maybe I can find that at an auto body supply?

Yesterday I tried Rustoleum Professional & Valspar, both from Lowes. They are not good. Translucent, very thin, and too shiny. I have many cans of black paint to donate to our local homeless graffiti artists....

Keep the suggestions coming if you have found the grail of readily available aerosols.

Thanks!!
