Yes, it's always a good idea to do 'spray outs' before
painting the actual part. I know the Dupont system is very flexible in
terms of tweeking color and gloss.

ran into when painting the dash on my 65L was the vintage formula. The original
DuPont color mix from the factory calls for a certain amount of deglosser to be
added to the color. That chemical additive has been banned from sale now. The
paint shop that I dealt with can only supply a flatting agent which has
different properties. They could not tell me what the new mix ratio should be as
they have no reference from the old deglosser to the new flattener ratio. Well
one can guess what happened when I applied it. The first application was way too
glossy, but the color was great at the original deglosser ratio, the second
application was still too glossy, (I had added more flattener) but by now the
paint was getting too thick, so back to the sand blaster to start again. I
reprimed the dash and the third time it was way too dull (I had added more
flattener) and that is when I ran out of time and weather. Looking back I know I
should have just painted test panels rather than the whole dash but it was a
gamble. Jamie
