Krylon 1613
Hi,
I received a supply of #1613 today and was surprised to see it with a new label. I was a little concerned at first but what's in the can seems to still be what I expected it to be.
I haven't had to buy any for a few years…. has this label been around for a while?
Regards,
Alan

Alan,
I picked up a box of 6 about a month and a half ago... Haven't opened it yet, but may have to just to check it out.

Hi 69,
The paint came from MSC Industrial Supply. (Harrisburg Pa. location).
Pretty incredible… I ordered it right after lunch yesterday and it was here (Md) right after lunch today!!!!
Probably the next time I order some a drone will drop it off an hour after I order it!

Alan, up here in Canada, I have seen new labels on the Krylon products here, but that one is new to me. When I bought my last can a little while ago, it did not match the label from my last one, but the color was the same. Just some new labels out there I guess, a marketing thing just to change up the look is what I am guessing.

Hi TP,
I use it for just about anything that was originally painted black on my 71. (A few things were typically more glossy.)
It's very versatile because it's acrylic lacquer. How far you hold the can from the part, and how wet you spray it, determines just how much sheen you achieve…. so everything doesn't end up looking the same.
Also because it's lacquer you can get a very 'thin' looking coat of paint on parts that didn't typically have much paint on them.
You can even do a fairly good job mimicking the look of 'dipped' paint which is difficult to do with enamel based paints.
In addition because it's lacquer, re-coating and 'touch-up' is easy.
There are certainly other black paints available but Krylon #1613 is one to consider too.
Regards,
Alan

The new label jives with the old Krylon 5-ball formula paints being classified as industrial coatings a year or two back.

I have found that lacquer works good for fog coating when blocking a car to get a flat surface as it doesn't ball up like enamel
Do you know if anyone still sells Lacquer in original bulk colors ?

Hi Mike,
I believe the Industrial designation has been on the labels for several iterations of the label going back at least 5 years.

Hi Wes,
Are you asking about acrylic lacquer exterior paint?
If so, while it's getting more and more difficult to obtain it there are still at least a few sources.
For instance in my area, Md/ Eastern Pa., a source is Colours Inc. on Hanover St. in Gettysburg Pa.
The sell PPG acrylic lacquer.
That's where the paint on my car came from.
It's actually becoming just as difficult to find someone who actually knows how to 'use' it as it is to find find the paint.

Alan

Someone at Krylon got promoted so there claim to fame is the label makeover
Rustoleum did a can makeover too.
I've used the Rustoleum satin and flats in black on my car.
Their Commercial line in the tall silver cans holds up well
under the hood.
I'm sure the Krylon is more accurate but I like to be able to
treat the rust and paint in one application.
Alan doesn't have any rust, I got it all.

Hi Marshal,
I may have begun with less rust than some folks, but I think I had my share when I began!
Regards,
Alan
A lot of it spent years in my lungs but seems to be mostly gone now!

Hi Wes,
The fellow who painted my car has never made the switch from lacquer.
He's been spraying it a long time and has been able to continue to adapt his methods as the paint has changed over the years.
7 quarts of paint was bought for my car and there is a partially thinned quart left.
It really just has 2 coats on it plus additional paint on the 'peaks' and 'edges'.
It's been 10 years since it was sprayed and up to this point I don't see that it's changed at all. It is getting shinier though as lacquer will do as the years go by.
Of course I realize that my car isn't at all typical in the way it's used and that lacquer is only a good choice for VERY few people.
Regards,
Alan
