-----Does anyone miss the old Krylon semi-gloss black in rattle-can form as much as I do??? For rattle-can paint it was really good. As far as other rattle-can stuff, how about some of the NAPA stuff. For those of us not blessed with spray guns anymore the NAPA stuff is about as good as it gets. Its funny, NAPA has a "frame" black thats pretty good used for underhood, and an "underhood" black thats pretty good on frames. Somehow, they seem to have gotten it backward!...Bill S

I really liked the "details" brand rattle can semi black..dried real fast and had the right look..too bad they no longer make it.

When did they stop making the Krylon Semi Gloss Black? Do they still make the semi-flat?

I've heard the industrial formula is still 1613 lacquer, but haven't tried it out yet.

----They still make Semi-Gloss and semi-flat, but unless its in the identical old style can the formula has been changed and I dont like it near as well. I still find the old cans out there but they are dwindling down. I cant get them locally at all......Bill S

They're different products with different part numbers, Bill.

KO1613 is the industrial formula that is available at industrial tool sources, but not big box public retail stores. I see its readily available from an Amazon vendor and on Ebay, however.

The new re-formulated mass market paints, 51613 which they now call satin, or the new semi flat

http://blogs.mustangandfords.com/664...rns/index.html aren't the same.

I don't think the mass market paints are lacquer anymore, I think the industrial mix is. I'm hoping its the same as "old" 1613. Some folks on other boards think its the same.
