Re: Dip Painting ?s
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I have an unrestored 69 SS Chevelle and the dip painted items are noticeable (due to runs) upon close inspection (air cleaner, horns, license bracket).  Personally, I think the effort to duplicate that painting method it is hardly worth it.  I have numerous (but not always obvious) runs in the dipped items.  If you want to duplicate the runs, that is easy.  I'd personally do a nice prep with black primer (in case the paint chips) and then use your desired paint.  Add the runs if you want.  No one is looking for them. 
 
Just my $.02 worth.  Hope your project goes well.

PS.  Runs aren't limited to the dipped items, the General had runs in numerous places on my cars.  Especially the dash.  I even have trunk spatter paint on my glove box door (69 Camaro 11k miles).
