HD Rattle Can Paint
Anybody use the HD brand matched spray paint? I was thinking about getting a can of the Vivid Black to paint my new tweeter pod, just curious if it would look decent. Anybody have experience with it?

Just painted my inner/cap with it - matches perfectly, easy to use, fast drying.
I didn't clear coat it but wet sanded it with 2000 grit sandpaper and buffed it out by hand with Maquires #3 then #7. Near perfect - no orange peel and smooth.
The pods outta be a sinch!
I'd recomend a DIY in a second with their paint - pretty pricey though!

+1 H/D's vivid black is just that black.... The duplicolor should work fine... PPG plain black base clear works great too if your doing something larger.

Thanks Scorpion! I just dig the brown saddle look, although this was my first two-tone, but I am very happy with how it turned out.
