I kind of figured that. I tried the stuff from NPD and didn't like the results. It didnt create the big blobs of aqua like I thought it should do. I wanted to try an undercoat gun to see it that would work better, plus I dont have a concours car to warrant me to have the car hauled out to Latrobe, even though I live in PA.

I can remember shooting the original Dupont stuff. It was water base. Came in a quart, like paint. Worked great but you needed a cheap gun to shoot the stuff through as it was a real pita to try to clean outta the gun.

I'm not sure which specific vehicle he's inquiring about here,as there were variations in years/models,but an distant friend of mine from East Dubuque found a perfect blend for the 1969-70 Chevelle trunks a few years ago.

The stuff needs to be sprayed with a Shutz gun. Automotive paint supply stores sell it.

I am looking at spraying a 68 Camaro trunk. I did not mention that in my orig. post.

Mr 70, Your distant friend JOHN BERLAGE still sells the paint.
Has anybody reading this had real expereince applying or seeing John B's paint.
He evidently sells either Black/Aqua or Grey/White.....

His instructions say to use "a large nozzle primer gun with 30-60 Lbs is required. Adjust fan to 12" to 14" by opening air valve. Hold gun 18" to 30" from surface. Distance will vary depending upon pressure used, spraying at an angle will distort splatter, which will be required to obtain best result."

The stuff that I bought from NPD sounds almost exactly like what you are talking about. It stinks real bad but looks like the original trunk paint when you open the can. Unfortunately, the stuff comes with real vague intructions as far as what type of gun or nozzle achieves the best results. Practice makes pretty expensive perfect.

I'm confused with this.We always got good results with just the back yard spray cans. Is that not acceptable today??Closest match I have ever seen.
