Rick how did you spray it???? I along with a bunch of people want to do it ourselves and get it right!!!...I remember as a kid we had da-shootz gun in the body shop and it had like a 1/4 or 3/8 nozzel looked like a reg spray gun but a funny nozzel..I dont know what the stuff was we shot but it was axactly correct and with the gun it kinda flung the stuff out of the gun around the trunk...you had to practice little with it as it came fast and would look like heck if you did not move right along with the gun...so is this another black box thing and no one really has a sure fire product besides the SCW..not offense BKH.

Bud,
Our resto guy has it down pat. The stuff we got from John has instructions with it but as stated, it is all in how it is applied. Takes practice, skill and I am willing to bet, luck.

Hello,

My name is John Berlage. I own a Butternut yellow 69 Yenko, as well as a 69 maroon copo. I faced the same problem everyone else is experiencing when it comes to finding a good trunk paint. A couple of years ago i spent year and a half looking for a good source. I stumbled upon and OEM supplier that produced the paint for GM. During my restoration of my yenko, before sandblasting the trunk, I sprayed some of the new paint over the old. I could not tell a difference. The paint in my opinion is the best you can get. I would like everyone to keep in mind that each GM plant did have variation in texture and look. For anyone who is skeptical please email me at [email protected] for pictures of my yenkos trunk.

I would also like to note, since it has come up on this discussion, how you apply the product is critical to how the paint looks. During my search I also discovered that GM used a very specific gun to spray the paint. They used a binks 2001 gun, with a 200 tip, a 66 fluid nozzle and a internal mix aircap.

Hey John, welcome aboard. Thanks for the trunk detail information, it is appreciated. Say, how about some pictures of the BY Yenko and the Maroon COPO.

I am confused. Is the stuff that Rick H is selling or the stuff from the ebay auction the thing to get? The one thing I do understand is that the BKH product is not for sale. I have one car with a resprayed trunk that I thought looked good until I picked up another car with an original trunk. Now the respray looks bad in comparison
