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).
