Re: trunk paint
Rick,
Do you use "black/aqua" or "gray/white" trunk colors for '69-'70? The old Dupont 389-259 spatter finish was labeled "gray/black/aqua", but when sprayed, looked like dark geay & white.

Re: trunk paint
For those that don't know, NOR and LOS(VN) trunk paints are not the same...if you care to make your car correct. NOR trunk paint is much easier to reproduce. Shops selling trunk paint typically ignore LOS trunk paint because they don't know better or don't care.

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.

Re: trunk paint
Here's a little trunk paint sample of what I put together for the restoration book I'm working on. This magnified image shows the strands in the LOS trunk paint.
