This is the latest from Testor: Dear Mr. Kozlowsky, Directly from our chemist: "Black cap does not indicate a formulation change. Floquil formulations have never been a lacquer. Current formulations did not change from the original formulations acquired during the acquisition of the product going back to the early 90's. Product is and has been an enamel."
