Re: 1969 Camaro Trunk paint
Dave sweet looking Monte Carlo's. Not easy to get those that straight. Can you take a good close up of your trunk paint for comparision.
It looks great. George

Re: 1969 Camaro Trunk paint
Thanks, A friend of mine did the paint and body here in Vineland NJ... Sam at Bodys Unlimited...Plenty of blocking involved.
You got it! Tried to duplicate more of a round splat, and less of a stringy splatter, by spraying straight on (side motion adds more "string"  but still end up with a little of both. I referenced 2 other Baltimore built Monte's and my 68 Norwood Camaro, none are the same. I'm very pleased with the results.

Re: 1969 Camaro Trunk paint
One more note;
I tried to spray with enough pressure to get it out of the gun without "atomizing" it too much. On my set-up that was @ 30 PSI. As well as cutting down on the "fan" of the spray pattern. I'm sure a bigger tip would have helped too. (1.8 used)

Re: 1969 Camaro Trunk paint
Guys, I think I finally have a good recipe for the trunk splatter paint. The dots seem to be about the correct size and pattern for a NOR built car. Here is a picture comparing where I am at and an original sample. Let me know what you think. I will take samples to the MCACN show tomorrow and compare with original cars. George
