    Quoted from Anim8ormatt:

    rustoleum semi gloss black. It's almost perfect to my eyes.
    For filling small cracks or scratches, I use an acryilic paint pen from hobby lobby. Not a sharpie. Sharpie pens and paint pens have a slight brown cast.

    Acrylics dry with a flat look, did you use a clear afterwards? i have some glossy black acrylic paint and did exactly what you mention on my sides of cab fillin cracks and you can see it not as shiny and stands out when the light hits it at certain angles of view!

    Don't use those crummy apple paints from the craft racks. they are terrible. Use hobby grade acrylics. they have a slight sheet to them. not dead flat like the tubes. (even gloss tends to dry in an uneven sheen on wood) I did up a pretty badly planked pinbot cabinet with a black elmers paint pen and i have since lost track of the repairs.
    If I am filling a crack, i keep a moist paper town on hand. i will run the bead to fill the crack, then wipe off the excess with my finger and then clean it off with the paper towel. That way it fill the crack without too much excess. Kind of like grout.
    The paint pens i use are elmers. They have worked like a charm so far. I even repainted the magna save spot on BK2K and it is holding up without a nick.

    Thanks for the Elmer pen suggestion. gonna head over to Michaels craft store or the Hobby Lobby!
