Default Re: 1969 Camaro Trunk paint

I painted over one of the Zolatone sample boards with John's paint and got better color match I think. If painted over medium grey primer it may work the same. My goal was to not have to apply as heavy a coat of John's paint to cover; over all effect it looks lighter. I think that worked for color but there is more texture to the finish. There are also little black drops in the paint I don't see in the original finish. The black stuff is like petrolium base thick paint that comes out in clumps. I tried adding a little thinner to see if I could reduce it and it dissolved the little paint balls. I will try a pressure pot system next to see if I can get that to work. The little aqua dots I would like to see more round ones also.I have only painted a handfull of cars so any painters advice would be welcomed. The Zolatone looked close on my monitor but side by side not close.
Work in progress,I hope. George

John Berlage email &quot;r(dot)berlage@comcast(dot)net&quot;. He is slow to respond but he will.
I just talked to him yesterday, he is out of the paint but has more coming in soon.
Be aware that this is inpart waterbase paint and can freeze. George.
