Re: [FWDLK] Dashboard Paint

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To get that effect, try putting some of the correct color in the 
spray-gun cup 1/2 full of water.  It will come out in drops and strings 
and the water runs off leaving the color "bumps" Play with the pattern 
adjustments and you might get the pattern the way you need. Then 
re-spray the color over it for the bumps to be "in" the paint.

They used to paint trunks this way. Color first and then usually White 
or Grey in the water. This gave it the "speckled look.
