1969 Camaro Trunk paint

George:
One other question. You sample looks like three colors, but the latch looks like it only has two. Am attaching pics of original paint on a trunk divider, which admittedly probably didn't get covered quite as well as the rest of the trunk area.

Lynn, John Berlage's paint does not cover like the original paint did. Or if you did spray it on to totally cover your primer you would end up with too many aqua splats. I have asked him for the MSDS sheet to find out the make-up of the black tar like product but he won't give it up. I think if you could thin out the black and get it to spray evenly it would work a lot better. I don't like the black splats that you mentioned. The trick is to spray on and match a primer to the background color with the correct sheen. The back ground color also was thick and had a texture to it so you have to apply it accordingly. I bought some paint with I think the correct color and flatness that I was going use as the back ground color. I will spray it today and report back. George.

Lynn, In you picture above you mentioned that was the paint on your truck divider. Is that the cardboard piece you are referring to? George

Yes, the original cardboard trunk divider. It was in the car when they sprayed the trunk. Fisher body installed the rear seat, so I am assuming that divider and the rear seat were in place when the trunk was sprayed with the spatter paint. Same with the package shelf, but I haven't seen any where they painted high enough up to get any on the package shelf. No trace of the red oxide on the divider, so obviously installed after the primer, before the spatter.

Regarding the aqua spatter. Seems like most of what I see doesn't have enough of it. Can you post a pic of one you considered too thick with aqua?

Thanks again for all your work.

Lynn, I believe the trunk dividers were installed after the trunk was painted. I don't think they would be installing any trim untill after the painting was completed. Sorry to say; it appears you may trying to match to a resprayed trunk. I have looked at several original trunks and never saw paint on the divider. Here is a picture of my buddies 69Z 30K orig paint car. I also sprayed out the background paint I mentioned and it looks good. It will hold up better than a tinted primer and can easily be mixed.
