A little more progress...almost finished with the trunk. I tested a small area with Duplicolor Black/Aqua, and it had more texture, and it just seemed too thick compared to original. I was about to order the good stuff from The PP, but I figured I would try Eastwood's trunk paint first, and I am every happy with the results. I still have to clear it, and it is still wet in these pics, but I think the key is that I laid a thin coat of black primer down first, and ended up using just 1.5 cans to get this coverage. I also noticed in the reference pictures I have, that there is quite a bit of variance as to how far the spatter actually goes "up" from one car to the next, so I just shot it the way this car came.
