What is the difference in black paints

I was reading my resto guide and on the same assembly it is calling out one part as 0 deg black and the other is 30 deg black.  What is the difference?  I have never seen any rattle cans called out that way and was just curious what the difference.

Also, I bought a new package tray that came in dark green.  My interior is an olive green, who sells correct paint for this type of application?

Thanks.

I think 0 deg black is(gloss) and 30 deg means it is 30% matt  :-\ semi gloss/ satin black, hope this helps

when mixing a paint formula with a professional mixing scheme, 30% etc, means add that amount of a matting additive or texture additive to the  mix, hope this helps

SEM has the right dye for that no doubt. Figure out the exact code for your shade of green and then you can use the Year One catalog online to find the dye code. Totally Auto Inc. has a good linup of dyes too and I believe they also use SEM. I would venture to guess they are better to deal with than Year One. I ordered some stuff from them and was treated well.

Thanks Bull.  Trying to get my winter projects going.  Hopefully by spring I can have the interior done and have her on the road.  Hoping to be part of the 25 yr aniversary ride from the Dodge main site to Chrysler Tech center next year.
