And lastely just for your entertainment, one of the convert well area...They did a walk-around and splattered that area also...Note how it shot onto the rear floor area..They were'nt afraid to pull the trigger... Anyone out there have a better alternative to the available spraybomb kits offered by these various companies ???

as Gregsrt pointed out it's Zolatone - probably the actual factory coating as well as the stuffs been used for OE applications a lot, stuff's been around for 50+ years or more.

I painted the interior of a boat last summer with it, pretty cool product.

Yes,I've checked into that but the Zolatone I've seen is'nt like the factory coating either..The flecks are applied in a semi-solid state and appear much like the spraybomb's finish...I'm pretty sure the mid-sixties coating was'nt a waterbased product that needed a sealer...Am I looking at the wrong product ???

Hey Buzz...Sorry for the delay got hung up at work last week but had a chance this week to get the promised pics...

These first set of pics is the available splatter paint from the Eastwood company...There's different companies making this stuff and I'm not sure who actually make theirs...So far I have'nt really seen a big difference in manufacturers products in a spraybomb...You basically get the splatterpaint and clear sealer in a "kit"....Here's a pic of the texture and coloring...



Great pics Colin & thank you for taking the time to shoot & post them.
Have you checked out Mosher's site to see what he's using? The way you've blended the splatter with the body color looks pretty original.
Great job & thanks again.. Also, is there any criteria that says which cars got body color vs splatter painted trunks?

I have'nt documented enough of the mid 60s vehicles to come up with a pattern on the splatter coating...Be it by plant,trim, etc...

I've been talking to various restorers about the original splatter coating and also what was available as the replacement/repair back in the 60s... From what I've seen and suspected obviously the original type formulas are long gone and superseded into what's available now..Pretty much the same story as most our original type paints and materials from that time period...

Again, if anyone has used a product with good results please post what you've used and possibly some pics...Thanks...
