restoman Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Earnhardt's '87 Monte Carlo and his 2000 Monte Carlo. Filled in the door seams on the '87. I experimented a little with the paint. Usually I'd do something like this in automotive basecoat, but I had some dirt cheap Beauti-Tone spray bombs from Home Hardware that I bought last summer for $2 a can. I figured if I'm going to put silver and red on the bottoms, then decal and clear the cars, trying something different would be a no-risk thing... The spray bombs worked great.
Spex84 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Nice shine! I use Beauti-Tone as well, the lacquers go on smooth but are quite 'hot' and need a good primer underneath. I've never found it for under $8.00 a can though, so you totally scored.
restoman Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Chris, it's actually enamel rust paint. I used it on my Montana van rockers to cover the stone guard and was impressed with the shine and how it laid down.
