Trunk spatter paints?
HELP needed.
I need to see pics of trunks painted with the Aqua/Black spatter paint for a 77 TA. Eastwood had the best match but cannot get it now. We tried the Dupli- Color version and it’s horrible!! Not even close to being correct. It comes out all tiny specs of aqua glitter, and covers poorly. So what’s everyone using? Anyone use the Delco version?

Stuff the parts place sells is repackaged solvent based Zolotone and best available IMO.

Actually a guy on another forum posted a video of his trunk done with this one, and It looks great, so ordered it.

I think that's the stuff I used with the GM label.. It looks good but it's water based. You have to clear coat it with something water proof. Water will lift it if it sits on it for any time at all. It lifted on the drain plugs in my trunk even though I cleared it. The plugs being the lowest points, a little water sat there no doubt. It does still look good though.

The Parts Place paint is far superior to that GM stuff, which isn't very authentic, and it doesn't protect well.

Zolatone is like $75 bucks a Quart, which is barely enough IMHO.
Also you'll need a 2.5 nozzle Gun with a remote pot so you can get up into places you cant with a traditional gun. This paint CANNOT be Shaken, only gently stirred. It is The best stuff for the job. I bought a pressure pot paint gun just to do this job, but now have used it on my Garage T-11 siding too. |
