Dupli-Color EMS300007 Metal Specks Automotive Paint – Retro Red Spray Paint - 11 oz. Aerosol Can

It's a learning curve on applying, covered nice with no running, but if you hold the can further away the results are a lighter blue. I had to respray my gas tank. Unlike other paints do not wet sand before applying clearcoat, you will disrupt the metal flakes. I waited 3 days before applying the clearcoat. I used Spraymax 2K clearcoat. Considering I'm a novice, it turned out really good.

My husband discovered this color originally at an Autozone. He is always getting cars and fixing them up/making them look nice. A lot of cars he's working with are for show or the tracks which with those cars they take out the whole entire engine and then paint the engine bay so it "pops" and looks clean/neat. He always is suggesting this color because it's a deep dark blue that when the light shines/hits it there's tiny tiny flecks of silver making this color pop like crazy! Especially when used in engine bays on black cars, gray, white ect. It's a very unique looking color. Autozone unfortunately stopped carrying it and it's become impossible to find any stores locally with it at all or if in stock has 2-3 cans tops in stock. Depending on car size some bays can take up to 6-8 cans of spray paint to have an even, smooth looking finish. Thankfully Amazon carries this particular color and he's able to order 6 cans at a time. If your a blue color lover that pops I highly suggest this one. The cover on the can in picture does no justice. It is that dark, but it sparkles much more.

Really looks grest!! Used this to repaint my golf cart, add some high gloss topcoat and wow, the results are great!!

Really good paint, love the color and the metal flake look. Bought 2 cans and discovered the spray nozzles are terrible. In addition to a spray they produce splatters of small drops making it almost impossible to obtain a smooth finish. Huge disappointment and a ruined finish.

Nice paint,covers well,4 stars because the spray tip is not the best

This stuff lays down nicely, and it covers REALLY quickly and smoothly. Great stuff.....I painted my jet ski with this and the duplicolor color match clear.

c8 vette if you use gray primer before you use this it will match your valve covers well.

I'm pretty pleased with this paint, especially considering it's a rattle can. I was curious about the results using different base colors. I did a quick test using identical pieces, one primed flat black and another unprimed with its original beige color. The black primed piece is on the left. For my purposes, I sort of like the beige base better but honestly, with a second coat it isn't likely to make a huge difference. The coverage is good and it seemed to exit the can evenly. No runs, no uneven bursts. I applied it outdoors in low humidity, temps around 65-70°F, on an overcast afternoon with no breeze. I also bought a can of the green to try. After good results with the red I'm optimistic about this product in other colors for my needs.
