Only thing I can find in the auto supply stores locally is the dupli color universal gold, is that the right color ?

I PREFER the DupliColor myself. I have done several SBO and every one has turned out great. I haven't heard any complaints from my Olds buddies and for me it is the way to go. I will say that I prep everything and get it "operating room" clean---and heat the spray can. Usually, I will heat the can on a kerosene heater or with a heat lamp. The directions say NOT to, but I disagree. I think they tell you not to because if left unattended eventually the can will explode. I get it pretty darn hot and the paint really flows well, covers better, and seems to last longer. Just be careful and keep an eye on the can if you do heat it.

 

I thought i was the only one that heated the can Dave.

 

Eric, I'm an "OLD DOG", and I know some old tricks, but...................if you have a new one I am always willing to learn!!!!! I've been using that one for many, many years.

 

I use the paints from "Bill Hirsch" -- They are always the correct shade and worked well for me! I even did my 1942 Olds engine with his paint and the color was "spot-on"!!
