Rustoleum flat black cheep and it works just as well as the "gi" stuff.

Wasn't Robert Cowan's experience that the military black lusterless was too...lustery?

I wouldn't mind it being a hair shiny. Anyone got some pics of mil spec lusterless (that apparently has some luster) vs normal flat on one of these trucks?

Guess I just need to order up a few cans to see if I like the color.

They have a hazmat fee or something w/ every order, in case you consider ordering a couple samples. The fee is the same for one can as multiples if I recall. Anyway, it makes it kind of expensive to place multiple orders.

503m715 knows of a place in southern Oregon that doesn't charge a hazmat fee.

And there's no hazmat fee for spray cans at Rapco, so that's a good way to get a sample.

For lusterless black if using Hammerite mix two quarts flat with one quart gloss and reduce. Makes a real nice satin finish. Fisherman
