there was a black primer years ago that said "hot rod black" on the can. but it was just flat black primer as i remember it.

 

someone i know had his car painted with that, it came out like ****, he said as soon as he painted it it looked beautiful, but after it cured and dried, he took it outside and wiped it down with a towel it showed all the towel markes, and if he touched it, it showed finger or hand marks, dupont paid for new paint for him.

 

Hot Hues, which is DuPont, has a Hot Rod Black paint.

 

If the body's "Hot Rod Black", make sure you do the wheels in "Resale Red"!

 

And for the wheels I'd go with Rat Rod Red.

 

ok .. lets not start a rat rod post here.. this is a very nice 55 chevy sedan delivary. with chrome reversed and whites.. its goin satin until the body is perfect enough for shiney black.. thanks alot to the people who are trying to hellp so far.. dave

 

PPG DP90: There are several "DP" primers manufactured by PPG. The only difference is in the color with DP90 being black. They all require that you mix them with DP402 hardener.

And proves to be a good way to go,

Also there is Endura:

"hot rod black" sounds like a name JC Whitney or Almquist would use as a marketing tool on rattle can primer -- but www.autobodypro.com has this stuff

 

Try John Deere Blitz Black.

 

Flattner and deltron looks great.

 

Dave:
I don't know if you're up to spraying it,but Imron has a satin black that is just about bulletproof.I just lettered a car last week that had been painted with it about 4 years ago and it has never been cleaned.The surface has taken on a real nice haze to it.When I prepped it,the haze was enhanced.

 

I have a paint can from the 50s or 60s labeled hot rod black.

 

The 29 A Roadster in the pics was painted Baby Poop Yellow as you can see in the one pic. The overcast on PCH north of Malibu makes the color a little better looking than does full sunshine.

The yellow paint is a PPG epoxy primer and held up well over a 3 year period. I forget the code #, but I can get it.
Strange color choice I thought at the time, but it's a neat little car and most importantly, not mine.

Anyway, about 18 months ago, the roadster was shot with a PPG paint that's designed to be used on semi-gloss window trim on the late models.
It's tough stuff and is holding up well.

Best part is, it's easy to clean, very much like washing a gloss paint car and that's pretty much all the owner does to it.
The semi-gloss (my term) has the right amount of flat and has a very satin-like appearance.

I understand the semi-gloss will make a good undercoating, but don't have any experience with it. That's what the owner was told and when he finally decides on a color I guess we'll find out.

I think two quarts did the car. The owner is a novice painter and reports the paint was easy to shoot.

 

What the new guy said. I was looking at a chip the other day.
