In restoring a car when trying to duplicate Phosphate and oil appearance, what type of paint would be acceptable ?
A flat black type of paint ?
A natural type of paint ?
A flat black undercoat with some natural color thinly painted on top ?
Thanks
Arild

imho none of the above. p& o is really easy to do at home and presents a fresh long lasting appearance when properly maintained. do a search here for recommendations of products used by others.

Most are moving quickly away from paints since they may not be ok to use in shows in the future and they often fail over a period of time
If you have to use them I've used a light coating (to not remove any of the surface texture of the original metal) of Eastwood phosphate spray paint, followed with a light dry coat of dark charcoal metallic interior paint, and finally a light dry coat of satin clear
