Re: 1969 Camaro Trunk paint
 

Great pics Charley. I knew the LA Camaros had a more stringy look to them, but don't remember looking at good examples. I suspect (but obviously can't prove) that the two plants used the same product shot from different equipment. Although everyone tells me that the Norwood cars got gray and aqua, if you look at the pics of mine and John's, it is way closer to a light gray than aqual. Just the slightest aqua tint.

The quest continues. Several vendors claim to have the "exact match" formula. I am skeptical, and don't really want to pay 60 to 90 per quart from 4 different vendors just to spray the stuff on cards and see which is closest.

Lynn,

Here is a shot of an original Norwood built '69 Camaro trunk paint.

So, now how about some pics from RESTORED cars? Please include info on the product and equipment used.
Even if it is a poor replication, at least that way we know what NOT to do if we are trying to replicate the original finish.

Would like to see samples of what the different products look like.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone reproduce that tar mat that goes over axle hump under spare tire? I believe that was part of deluxe interior package as well as trunk mat?

Re: 1969 Camaro Trunk paint
 

The Zolatone is great stuff. If you were to lightly stir the paint with a stick and let it dry, it would almost produce an exact match. Spray it with a gun and it comes out totally different. I recomend adding the hardener if used. I have also tried using a Schutz gun with not so great results. I have also mixed it up and put it into a paint remover spray bottle and have had almost exact results. You must have a black base inthe areas that you want covered though. Just my two cents.

This is my trunk in a `70 Chevelle that Nostalgic Autobody did. They also have their own special process to duplicate this. They also have done other style spatter depending on what the car came with originally.
