RE: paint color behind the '64 b-body grill?

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding "patina", I get alot of remarks about how nice the patina on 
my valve covers looks. Now this is totally by accident but I sand 
blasted and repainted them with Dupli-color 1200deg high temp engine 
paint. Then I put decals on them that I got from Schyler. Then I decide 
to clear coat them to keep the decals protected. I used dulpi-color 
600deg engine clear coat. After about 3 months the clear coat began to 
split and slide on the base paint. The results looks like a jig-saw 
puzzle patina. It might work again if you really want to have the patina 
look. Just a thought.
