Default Re: Detail Paints

I used the Jerry MacNeish book as a first point of reference for most all the colors and % of gloss references when doing my 69Z and it turned out very good. I also recommend the Krylon 1613 for most of the internal engine bay large parts (Inner Fender Wells, Core Support etc...) The only problem I experienced with the Krylon, is that it chips very easily and is not super durable. As far as the natural finish depending on the part, I have also heard of Boeshield working well. I used Seymour Castblast on certain parts like the Steering Box and some linkage parts.
