Refinishing my metal rocker panels, I've noticed a slight "texture" that isn't as pronounced as undercoating or pickup bedliner.
Was wondering if anyone has duplicated this finish and what was their procedure.

Did a couple of searches and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

As usual, TIA. Greatest 914 knowledge base ever!

I just did this technique on the front air down, I use the same technique for rockers.

Here’s the three products to use. First spray the black primer for a basecoat. Second after some practice spray a light coat of chip guard with some distance from the rocker, that will give the speckled effect. Just a quick light back-and-forth does a great job. Third I use the black satin as a topcoat.
I suppose any black primer would work, but the brand of chip guard and black satin work, and match original color very well.
To see this on rockers, see my build link at the bottom of this post.










Thanks @Garland !

Part numbers and all.

Best DIY I've seen yet for finish appearance.

You NAILED it big time!
