I used Testors model paint, $1 a bottle, and a free fixup. Resists rust. Sand and paint, then repeat until you feel it's good enough. Then sand the paint so it feels smooth.

Are you guys talking about the trim around the T-Top or the black paint that glass T-Tops have on the inside??

Hey MattW, you need to put an "i" between the t and the e in geocit"i"es in your web site link.

I like Krylon semi-flat black. Matches the original finish quite well.

I use SEM I bought it here in Flint MI, It is about $7.00 for the spray can but it works better than cheeper spray paints. It does not come out all watery looking, (More paint, less thinner) it dried in about a half hour to the touch, and I put them back on my car.

SEM makes spray can paint? I've happily used SEM products for years, but have never seen that, and I was just at my paint supplier Tuesday too. Have to get out my whip and get them on the ball

oh yeah, SEM makes great spray products. For this application they make something called trim paint which is that semi-flat finish black that's used on all your stock metal trim pieces.
