  • Anodized-look spray paint...check it out...

    I just found out about this product this morning and have been to every Trak Auto Store around. Its called Metalcast made by Dupliclor. I can't find this stuff anywhere. Has anyone seen it or heard about it? It looks like it might be kinda cool. I can't even find a vendor online. I think they just came out with this very recently.

        I"m headed to Wal-mart right now. I contacted the company though to see if I can buy it from them since I tried 3 SuperTrak and couldnt find it.

        Hope Wal-Mart has it though :D

          In case someone might be interested.....No stores in my area of about a 50 mile radious carry this product so I called the company. They dont offer direct sales but told me to contact my local NAPA store and they should be able to order it for me. There happened to be one across the street from my work so I went there yesterday. Surprisingly they had the ground coat but not the top/colored spray. They ordered some for me and it will be there this morning. I also got an email from Duplicolor with another resource that can order all their products. If anyone's interested let me know and I"ll post the info here they gave me. Otherwise if you have a NAPA near you they can order it for you :D

              I bought 1 can of ground coat and two cans of the blue top coat. With tax it was just a little over $18.00...not a bad price. Each can was about $6.00. I'm hoping to try it out tonight but it's hot as H$ll outside here :(

                        I didnt have time to work on my car this week but today I'm planning on it and will post pics.

                        Here's the excerpt from the email that Duplicolor sent me :

                          now THIS looks COOL! i think im gonna paint my quad borla tips like this....

                          http://www.duplicolor.com/gallery/ga...exhausttip.jpg

                          hahaha jk, but that paint and **** is pretty cool. just be VERY VERY careful how you use it if you paint your engine, you could cross that fine line and have your car look like a honda.

                            Well I painted some things in the engine bay this weekend and they turned out pretty good I think! :D There's some pics in this album...the last few at the end.

                            http://community.webshots.com/album/38466152izBpli

                            The paint was pretty easy to use and I'm happy with how everthing turned out. Only thing is this paint is kind of transparent so some of the caps I painted the lettering showed through that was printed on the cap. What I should've done was primed it then applied the ground coat. I am redoing my whisper lid and it wasnt on when I took the pics yesterday.

                            I Would recommend anyone trying this paint! And anyone else that has used it please post some pics!
