1969 Camaro Trunk paint

[Lynn]

Since Bill has already invested in a couple of set ups (and getting pretty darn close I might add) I am purchasing a small 2 qt. pressure pot and gun set up with a 2.0 tip. Will post the results.

Perhaps JohnZ can chime in and confirm if the original stuff was sprayed from a pressure pot at Norwood, where he worked. It would sure help to know which tree to bark up.

Yes.. Perhaps he will chime in I would love to hear how it was done at Norwood.

Unfortunately, John doesn't remember the application method. Probably should give him a pass on this one. It has been 43 years. I am lucky to remember what I did yesterday.

Is it the same paint as John's?

Looks the same as John's - from &quot;Original Parts Group&quot;

The parts place has it on eBay for$69. Looks like the same stuff.

George. Great work.

You are getting some of the same &quot;stringy&quot; results I did, kind of a cross between the Norwood cars and the LA cars. Still, we are getting close on this.

I just ordered some more berlage paint, but will have to wait for warmer weather, because they won't ship when temps are around freezing or below.

Great idea heating it up a bit.

BTW, I just scored an old, but never used Binks 200 tip with the internal mixing cap for $12.99 with free shipping. If that turns out to be the ticket, I don't mind sharing with you or other members. Not sure that they are still available from Binks.

I will have to put the trunk project on hold because of the weather and waiting for parts, but the good thing is I can do it later.

Headed out to the garage to start installing side glass. Need tinted driver's glass, but that is another thread.

Lynn, I was playing around with my siphon gun again trying to get more pronounced &amp; larger splatter. Instead of using Johns paint, It's getting too expensive for testing, I painted a dark grey background. I mixed up an Aqua water based paint to try to splatter it. I covered the angled holes in the air cap with tape so the paint wouldn't atomize as good. Used low pressure, so no paint was coming out when I pulled the trigger. When you release the trigger it spits out splatter. Getting closer but not perfect yet. I overlaid my test pattern on the picture of the 5K 69. The second picture, I found on Team Chevelle site was done at Super Sport Sales and I think he has mastered the correct splatter pattern I am looking for.George

Again, great work George. I have my 2001 gun and can use it either siphon or pressure pot. I am still waiting on that odd ball tip with the internal mix air cap. The seller sent it parcel post, which means 2 to 3 weeks for delivery. ARGH.
