Hi Sam. Thanks for the quick reply. I know that Brian has the original formula or something very close to it for the factory spatter paint. But, I think for this car I am going to go the rattle can route.

Thanks,

-Dave

Dave, you could also check with the folks at NNN...I'm sure they can offer good advice for the do-it-yourselfer....

Thanks

Eastwood black-aqua splatter paint in the can works for a driver. Cover the trunk floor. Half way up the quarters. Do not spray the marker lights. I would not clear over the splatter. Gives it a yellow cast. It is easy to touch up again and again. Earl

Is the GM rattle can splatter paint acceptable for a show car??

I used the Eastwood kit..but you have to use the clear over the color. My car is a driver not a showcar.

sam,I sprayed my 68 nova ss 396 with this method ;it looks like factory.I sprayed a few coats of ppg dp90(kind of a semi-black)on the second coat ;while it is still wet, fog in with the splatter color rattle can.It will dry up to a nice even sheen.Chris Teed
