For Organosol I used rustoleum TEXTURED BLACK. I take it out of the rattle can and spray it with a gun. Then I clear coat it with Glasurit Matte clearcoat. It looks awesome and its washable and wont stain.

And what about the kit that Frank B sells ?

I wonder if they messed up a bit, the gm argent has the green aspect to it 68-74, like used on the older vette rims.

All these rattle can and repops look good until you crack open a can of the org. oem nos paints and use the old style spray gun then reality sets in that its only close.

I hardly open the old junk anymore, my lungs want to lock up in short order.

Nothing pops like the original, but I do understand why the pro-s, even if they had it couldnt sell it probably because its been banned for so long from the epa.

Ive still nearly 3 gallons but I still cheat at times to save paint, I will use a silver first base coat but still of the old school 60/70-s laq then the text. topcoat.

But this is straight from the can, with a little laq to reduce.

I shot this with my bubble because I knew id have a bit extra.

TOTALLY AUTO.
