gazim, Thanks for that tip. I had thought of co2 but had not tried it yet.
As far as which paint,I know the result after 37 years of limited abuse. It was a nice car and I treated it nice,like if I ran into a gravel road I drove slow and tried to avoid them.
Think coverage, I put two good coats of each on with a brush. I happen to be real good with a brush and can get a finish that looks like it was sprayed.
Spray painting is hard for good coverage in tight places and pockets, but if coverage is excellent then you have sealed up the surface and it stays sealed.
I 'm going to take some of that high $ stuff and put it on some old piece and throw rocks at it leave it outside for mother nature to work on and see how it does. Ya, I know it sounds a bit silly but maybe it will show something.
Dan
