looking for a grey mettalic paint

[trailramdan]

I think we are going to paint the pedal car frame a dark gray metallic. Anyone know of a good shade they have used? We are going to rattle the frame. And dont want a light silver. Send some suggestions my way!

How about Rustoleum Hammered Silver. Durable and easy to lay???

Isnt that like a mix of sliver n black

 

[buckeye]

Yep kinda.

Rustoleum has a couple really nice metallics but the problem is most of them are in the textured line which in my opinion would make cleaning the frame a little bit of a pain

I just used one from their metallic line called carbon that is a very nice dark grey, no flakes in it but came out fantastic

I'll try to shoot a pic later for you to see

If you use a light silver mettallic like a rustoleum and put a coat of the rustoleum clear coat on top of it. It darkens the silver and makes a nice dark gray mettallic finish. :thumbsup:

here is two shades of rustolium hammered grey I love that stuff it hides flaws and wears like iron

That is what I was talking about.
If hammered came in more colors, that is all I would use.

Here is the aluminum tank I sprayed. The color was carbon mist by Rustoleum and it's their new paint+primer line.

I really like that, is that a hammered finish paint?

Nope, it's the new "Universal" metallic line, not hammered. Got it at home depot. It has a funky spray top and sprays at any angle.

Can looks like this but obviously the carbon color:

As mentioned it's paint and primer in one so it sprayed real nice, all I did was scuff the aluminum with a scotch pad and spray
