Hello all,
I did some experimenting with some spray cans and found a combination that I think looks great and may be good as a sealer too. Unfortunately it is not for you original restoring folks. I only tried this on test metal but might be tempted to do it in my trunk too. I first shot the metal with 3m rubberized undercoating (black) and let it dry. Then followed up with krylons stone textured paint (black with white flecks). I used the stone textured paint sparingly till I got the amount of white flecks I desired. When I shot the textured paint by itself, the finish had too much white flecks and had too much "texture". After my backyard paints had dried then I finished it off with a clear coat. I tried some of the auto parts splatter paint but it didn't look as good as the spray gun types.

Do you have any pictures of the end result?

I'll take some pictures later tonight. Hopefully, I'' be able to post it.

Okay, can someone tell me how to post my pictures???

I'm curious too as to how it came out, BartonekDragRacing has graciously offered his website for hosting, you can use this to upload it.

Hey, thats looks really good, I know what you mean by too much texture with just the splatter paint. I might have to give it a try. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Hi Guys -

I don't want to down-play X22's ideas, but I thought I would put in my 2 cents. Everything that I have sprayed rubberized undercoating on..which is quite a few things...some not even auto related, I regret doing. It is a mess to spray, it never really dries (poke at it on a hot day) and smells bad. Worst of all, it is awful to remove.

Just my opinion... I personally would use the spatter paint from Classic Industries or Rick's. I think its about $15 a can, and you need 2-3 cans to do the trunk nicely.

No offense taken. Thats why I posted this idea here. To hear everyone's opinions.
