Wanted: Eastwood Black and Aqua Trunk Spatter Paint

    Eastwood has discontinued it's black and aqua spatter trunk spray paint. My entire trunk is finished with this. I have to refinish the flat area of the trunk and would like to match the finish on the inside quarters,etc. Anybody got some they could sell? Thanks!

    NAPA, O'Reilly's, Advance, Autozone, etc. do carry trunk spatter paint. Duplicolor and GM. And there is some availability of Eastwood black and gray trunk spatter paint. My trunk was finished with the Eastwood brand aqua and black spatter paint. I sampled Duplicolor and GM aqua and black spatter paint before I chose the Eastwood brand as the closest (at the time) to original. They do vary. So hopefully, someone has got a few cans of Eastwood sitting on a shelf that they do not need.

    This may/may not help the OP, but there was a thread on here about making your own - May have been Gary's (@BUQUICK) Dad that makes his own.

    No but makes sense as they now have some retail stores (one near me but I haven't been in there yet) so seemingly a change in business model/cash infusion.

    Don't use that spray can garbage,..none of it is close,...paint the area black then spray some aqua base at very low psi so it just spits out,..you'll need a compressor and cheap gun,..paint from a local automotive paint supplier and then practice on a test panel for the correct distance,..psi and whatnot

    I’m happy with it. Then again, I don’t know what original looks like. My body shop guy applied it using the rattle cans. That’s what he used in a previous car.

    Truck is my storage during restoration but managed to take a couple pics

    I use the AC Delco black Aqua... matches original. You can buy it on ebay for $22/can. Comes it a rattle can, but you have to use a flat clearcoat since it is water based.
