Caribbean turquoise alternative?
I’m almost to the point where I can paint the firewall on my 66 Rustomod project. I haven’t decided whether to paint it semigloss black to match the inner fenders and core support or body color. I am leaving the exterior patina and painting the interior. I have the equipment to paint, but at the expense of materials, I’ve been looking at the 2k rattle cans. Is there a paint that is really close? Since the exterior is faded and “patina”, I’m not worried about a factory match. Thanks guys for any possible help.

It is an aerosol can that has a separate bladder that holds hardener. You take a cap and push from the bottom. This pops the bladder and releases the hardener. They typically have a fan pattern nozzle instead of a circular style like regular spray paint cans. I’ve used them before and they do a pretty good job. A 12oz can usually runs $30 or so. Perfect for small areas.

I ended up buying a paint from TCP Global. It’s called “Tropical Turquoise”. Since I’m not painting the truck, it will be perfect. I intend to paint the firewall and the interior. I have been doing a little on the truck, but it’s cold, too cold for paint.hopefully soon!
Here’s the paint for others who might search. I’m spraying urethane, but there is enamel and B/C/CC. https://tcpglobal.com/products/rsp-ub1514-qt_2

Great color, but I thought you were looking for an option in a spray paint can. Looks like this is by the quart? Just out of curiosity, why Tropical Turquoise instead of Caribbean turquoise, which I assume is the correct color for truck?
