Actually he used regular tremclad off-the-shelf paint, heavily thinned with mineral spirits. I don't think there IS a Tremclad/Rustoleum automotive paint line. Tremclad > white has a tendency to yellow with age, so I don't know how colour stable > the other colours > would be also.
Might just be something with the white. The guy said he painted his 74 Beetle with orange Tremclad and, five years later, had to replace a fender and paint it to match. He says the new fender color was a dead-on mach, right off the shelf, and he'd give $100 to anyone who could figure out which fender it was based on the color. So I guess YMMV. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
