Pretty happy with the quality of the bodywork and paint.  Dupont Chroma One Base coat (now owned by Axalta), with Dupont Chroma Premier clear.  Next is the C stripe.

Not real happy with the fit of the chrome ram air inserts.  Have some work to do there..........

Question...............I need to spatter paint the inside of the trunk.  What rattle can is the closest to original, or what have others used to replicate the correct trunk paint?

I bought a rattle can of trunk spatter paint form APD quite a few years ago that was correct.
I'll have to dig around and see what the can says.

Before someone asks.........no these aren't the wheels that will be going on it Wink

I've got a ways to go before I worry about tires and wheels!

Also, trunk is not all the way closed, hence the huge gap.  I know there are many who don't care for the looks of the Group 19 Donahue spoiler on an AMX..............but I do !

Several other details I need to correct also but at least we're making progress!

The trunk spatter paint I got from APD is made by Plastikote. The part number is 502 Dark Green/Aqua

Thanks.  Have also been told Dupli Color DM102 is close.  Did you clear the Plastikote?  My understanding is all spatter paint in a rattle can is water based and needs to be cleared over?

Have also heard that Zolatone Onyx Black in a quart can, ready to spray is correct.  So many decisions, lol.
