Default Re: trunk paint

Paul,
Basically speaking we use a black/aqua though in reality there are three different phases of colors that are applied that give the end result. If you looked at the trunk in Dennis Lang's car at the recent Chevelle show out east, that was the very first attempt at this process after shooting 140 sample boards. As with the Camaros, the Chevelles vary plant to plant and in most cases, (as an example) a Leeds car will be very different than Dennis's car which is a Baltimore car. This requires a completely different process where in my opinion one has a fish eye appearence whereas the other has a stringy appearence. Hope this helped to answer the question.
