SEM "Trim Black" anyone used it??

Does anyone have any experience with SEM trim black? I know they now make Hot Rod black but was wondering about their trim black. From what I understadt it is for doing the black hoods on muscle cars ect. Anyway is it enamel or single stage eurothane? I looked on their website and they only had a MSDS for it but no tech sheet.


Thanks,
Todd

 

No one???????

 

I hear its pretty popular, but can't be painted over...read this string

I've used it in a rattle can. kinda semi-gloss-almost-flat. nice sheen for plastic mirror bodys, window trim black out.
holds up well, easy to work with. Probably "right" for Delco starters and generators.

I've used it for years. Doesn't require a primer coat. Lacquer based.

 

I know the JohnDeer implement paint cannot be painted over. Is the Trim Black from SEM the same?

Thanks,

How is it to spray? does it hold up well? It seems do be "flatter" than alot of the other flat paints out their. (which is what I want).

Thanks,
Todd

 

Ive done several projects with it first was this bike











And the second is my brothers 72 C-10 Long Bed, I like using it beter that "Hot Rod Black Primer", its not porous like primer it is durable and can be sanded and painted over. They say you can use there thinner but I never thin I just strain it real well and shoot it right out of the can.It's real forgiving...

 

I've never had a problem spraying over it, even as far as making repairs, scuff and panel shoot. It's about as easy to spray as anything out there.....

 

So it's lacquer based?

 

Doh!! Now I see it above.......

 

Thanks for the info. The bike looks nice too!

 

It kicks ***... I've used it on frames and inner fender panels for that OEM look.

Found this moldy old thread so wanted to ask if anyone else has been getting told it's on backorder, this ones is called euro jet satin black IIRC.
Cripes I've been trying to get my OT tailight trim painted for a month and I know, "why didn't/don't you just do this or that" or maybe you should plan better or blah blah blah.
Been wanting to try SEM for a long time and know how popular it is but this particular paint number is b/o'd been getting the "in two weeks" deal every two weeks for a month.

 

strong good stuff . hard to get off. etches bare metal. I sell it at my work

 

I actually used it on 'trim'. OT bumper covers, etc. SEM's good stuff. Pay attention to prep (clean) and it's a winner.

 

Does it work in CA.???

 

Update
I did get my SEM Euro black trim paint but wasn't able to get to the job all summer.
Finally painted my OT 96 Impala SS aluminum/plastic tail light bezels, WOW, this was the best rattle can painting experience EVER.
Just scuff and paint, no primer needed, this stuff is worth the price, I highly reccomend it.

 

I love and have used SEM products for years.

 

Great product !!

 

SEM products are extremely high quality, Professional results for the amateur!
I have used their rattle can products for many years, always with great results.

Used it (rattle can) in the body shop in Redwood City where I work for years. Good stuff. Very durable, dries kinda semi gloss not flat flat.
