Where did you find that paint? I looked everywhere the other day and couldnt find anyone that carries it.

Any hardware store should have it. Did you look at Home Depot?

No I may have to check there tomorrow. I never really painted plastics before. I have some regular Krylon Gloss Black. Could I just sand it and spray it with that?

Yup. Any spray paint will work. I just used standard black paint on mine. You won't get near as good a finish as Matt though. Mine is a flat finish (which is what I was looking for).

The one here had it sitting way on the bottom shelf below the other Rattlecan paints.
I also saw It Advance Auto Parts, but they wanted $6.27!!
