I'm getting ready to apply spatter paint to my 67 convertibles trunk. I may use a home grown solution to duplicate the spatter size so I want to paint all that needs to be painted in this one run. As I understand it, from reading past threads on spatter painting, the shakers were suspended inside the trunk during spatter painting and then later secured to the floor and side brace. That's clear to me. What I am curious about is where inside the trunk were they suspended from? By that time the body was painted I figured it wasn't from the gutter frame being they weight close to 50 pounds between the two, or was it? I'm also assuming coverage of the shakers varied from partial to full on one side. When I restored the car back in the 80's I just don't remember seeing spatter on the shakers then so I painted them semi-gloss back.
Thank You,
Mike
