T-top paint. Gloss or satin?

[HighMileage]

It's time to paint the fat edge on my t-top panels while waiting for new edge trim to arrive.

This fat edge,gloss or satin?

Thanks!

Ok,thanks.

What confused me is they look like thin gloss black. That's probably from years of wear.

A paint that I already have and have good luck with for years is Dupli-color Trim Paint in the green rattle can.

Thanks again. Back to work!

I didn't do it myself on the T-top trim, but another member used SEM Trim Black and it was perfect. I've used Trim Black to restore my headlight bezels...it's the best trim paint product you can buy.

I just found the link here; scroll down past the bezels and you'll see the results on the T-top and taillight trim:

I've used SEM also. Having used both SEM and Dupli-color,I'd have to say they are similar. At the moment,I've got a can of Dupli-Trim Black color on hand.

The Dupli-color has withstood the test of time on my other GM cars as far as painting the door edges around the windows. Lots of hand traffic there opening and closing the doors.

Rarely do I have a problem with it going on. If I do,it's my fault by something I missed.

Prices are similar,also.

Thanks for the replies you guys. I almost painted gloss by mistake!
