Believe it or not, I bought it from Ames back in 2014...they no longer carry it.
I was worried that it would have gone bad but just finished spraying it and it looks very good, I am quite pleased.
The can had a Zolatone label and part # was ZT-20-TS02 which is black/aqua. As others have mentioned, Parts Place seems to sell the same product under their own brand as PP-20-TS02.
Even though my can was almost 6 years old, I gently stirred it according to the instructions (very important, follow them!) and did not seem to have any chunks after I mixed for 5 minutes.
I used a Vapor HVLP gravity fed gun with 2.3mm tip at 60 PSI for the sheer coat. I had a few issues with it clogging but that cleared up after a while.
I then opened the spray valve and lowered the pressure to 30 PSI and sprayed the pattern coat.
It was a good idea to spray black epoxy first, it really helped the Zolatone hide well.
I used almost a full quart, I have maybe 3 tablespoons left over and what I used was enough to do the trunk, back of the back seat frame, quarters/wheel wells, and 3 sides of a 16"x16" subwoofer box I built.
I am sure that a quart is enough for an A body trunk provided you spray a black epoxy under it first.
It is very difficult to capture how dark it is, my camera makes it look gray but it is definitely black.
