Trunk splatter paint

Does anyone know the correct color of the trunk splatter paint that is suppose to be applied to a 70 442?

Pretty sure it was still either the charcoal gray with white specs or the black with turqouise specs in it. I purchased my trunk spatter paint from the Parts Place and thought it was fairly good.

Use a Black/Aqua trunk paint for your 1970 442.

I spray the trunk first with black spray paint. Then spray the spatter paint over that. This makes the spatter paint go much further I have found. Looks just as good. I then spray clear on top of the spatter paint (after it has dried.) The spatter is evidently water soluable and I have had poor luck in getting these old car trunks to be entirely water tight. Water makes it come up/off. Patton is right on the color.
