I’m getting my firewall and cowl area ready for paint. I will now show that my knowledge of Chevelle paint is on the opposite end of the spectrum from martinsr.
I will be using an Eastwood semi-gloss black topcoat to try and match the factory color. When I was striping the old paint it was a very thick coating on the firewall especially on the cowl forward of the hood seal and around the cowl tag (same on the pass side). The finish was textured and had developed an alligator look cracking pattern. The thick coat looks like it was meant to hind spot welds on the cowl. Is this coating original? If it is, how do I reproduce the look. Would just a prime/paint be more durable?
