T-Top Paint
I am replacing my t-top weatherstripping and would like to repaint the bottom side of the t-top while I am at it. What spay can paint should I use to get as close to the original black paint as possible. I don't think the Krylon semi-gloss is still available so I was thinking john deere blitz black. Any thoughts.

Hi gr8,
The original Krylon #1613 is still available but has become more difficult to find in some areas of the country.
Blitz black is also a good choice.
Regards,
Alan

I trust your judgement Alan if they turn out half as nice as yours I would be satisfied. I am not able to find the krylon paint locally so blitz black it is.

Old formula Krylon is now considered an industrial coating as opposed to paint. If you have an industrial coatings outlet in your area, they should be able to get the Krylon.
