    they have it at my local Napa, but it's quite expensive.

    For the price, Duplicolor Trim Black is just as nice.

      that works too. No need to spend more just because. Duplicolor comes also in flat, gloss, satin, etc.?

            The auto paint shop in between wake forest and atlantic (behind walmart) area sells SEM paint but yes, Duplicolor works just fine.

              Hi Dan, you mean the one by the railroad and the Shell gas station? I could literally walk there from home. thanks! But if duplicolor works just as good for le$$ I'll go that route. I just thought SEM was THE way to go. Thanks everybody for the info!!

                  So kind of a thread jack...but what grit of sandpaper should you sand the trim pieces with before painting with the SEM or Duplicolor??
