What color would you call the Black Paint with is being used on the Newer PT425 Hood and other parts that are Black. It looks to me to be a Satin Black, or a Flat Black, but would like to try to match it as close as possible, without having to repaint all the parts.

PT supposedly uses Sherwin Williams machine black and machine green. However, rumor (again) has it you can only buy those in gallon quantities special order from Sherwin Williams stores. So, I use Rust-Oleum John Deere green (almost a perfect match) and Rust-Oleum semi-gloss black (again, pretty darn close).

I'd say give it a try in an inconspicuous place and see how it looks.
