Re: Cast Iron Engine Spray Paint Shootout
Are we taking bets? I'll put my money on the Dupli-Color, although they are all three quality paint companies

Re: Cast Iron Engine Spray Paint Shootout

Re: Cast Iron Engine Spray Paint Shootout
sorry about the wait fellas
Dupli-Color - DE1651 second light coat as per the instructions Notice we added the caps to the equation, as I always get a kick out of how they don't match what comes out of the can, so we taped half of them off and painted one side of each. Last edited by Gregski; 03-19-2016 at 11:25 AM. |
