In regards to Chuck's question about durability - probably not even close to modern paint technologies available today. Back then we'd use Sikkens Rally Black or DuPont Imron with a flattener if you wanted something more durable. |

I use RM UNO HD SC804 for parts and components that call for 30% - 50% gloss, its a single stage product (catalyzed) that is easy to apply (read "forgiving"), durable, and once I learned the technique, I can adjust the gloss on the fly from the base 30% (out of the can) to about 50%. I like RM UNO so much that I've also custom blended it with RM UNO Gloss Black (SC403) for higher gloss finishes up to about 80%. Last edited by Edgemontvillage; 12-12-2022 at 10:06 PM. |

Mitch, it was a trial & error process for me (I use a Sata X 5500 RP gun), I spray a slightly heavier second coat (slower pass, full paint volume) at higher pressure (27 vs 25 psi) which brings the gloss up the range to closer to 50%.

Many thanks to all who responded. The UNO HD looks like it might be the ticket. I’m sending your posts via screenshot to the painter, Lloyd, much appreciated.
