George. Great work.

You are getting some of the same "stringy" results I did, kind of a cross between the Norwood cars and the LA cars. Still, we are getting close on this.

I just ordered some more berlage paint, but will have to wait for warmer weather, because they won't ship when temps are around freezing or below.

Great idea heating it up a bit.

BTW, I just scored an old, but never used Binks 200 tip with the internal mixing cap for $12.99 with free shipping. If that turns out to be the ticket, I don't mind sharing with you or other members. Not sure that they are still available from Binks.

I will have to put the trunk project on hold because of the weather and waiting for parts, but the good thing is I can do it later.

Headed out to the garage to start installing side glass. Need tinted driver's glass, but that is another thread.

Lynn, I was playing around with my siphon gun again trying to get more pronounced & larger splatter. Instead of using Johns paint, It's getting too expensive for testing, I painted a dark grey background. I mixed up an Aqua water based paint to try to splatter it. I covered the angled holes in the air cap with tape so the paint wouldn't atomize as good. Used low pressure, so no paint was coming out when I pulled the trigger. When you release the trigger it spits out splatter. Getting closer but not perfect yet. I overlaid my test pattern on the picture of the 5K 69. The second picture, I found on Team Chevelle site was done at Super Sport Sales and I think he has mastered the correct splatter pattern I am looking for.George
