Krylon Satin Nickel for chassis painting
#7

I found some of the Krylon 51255 paint on Amazon and ordered one can of it. I hope it turns out to be the original type. In the meantime, I tried some Rustoleum brand Satin Nickel 249130 that I had bought at Ace Hardware. It turned out to be exactly like the Krylon Brushed Nickel 69303 that has the near metal flake look to it. Apparently all the companies now think that people want to see tiny sparkles in their paint. It will not work for chassis painting. It just does not look right.

I hate to buy paint just to try if I do not have another use for it. There are some other brands and types including store brand paints that might be worth trying at some point. However at about $10 per can it can get expensive.
