I was at AZ for some trim paint for the Saab and trying to decide which brand to go with when I saw this little guy in the back. Don't know anything about it other than it's the one I bought.

I also have used that paint for outside trim on a car I had. Worked good. The label is pretty cool too.

Of course you realize that can's been sitting on the back of a shelf somewhere for 30 years.

The stamp on it says 2015. I'm not very good at math but I don't think 2015 is quite 30 years ago.

Ummm, guys... I was only kidding around due to there being a picture of a 30 year old rather familiar car on the can's label.

Be careful. I heard those cans catch fire real easy.

The can says to keep it away from an open flame.

Brings back memories of making "flame throwers" with a lighter and a can of starting fluid...

Wow they still make that and have not changed the label? I used that stuff probably 25-26 years ago, back when I had an '84.

So true. I guess they like the big black bumper pad to emphasize the use.

Yeah, I hope that soldering iron isn't plugged in. The one partially covered by that sheet of paper?

I guess the easiest way to know that is to check if the paper is still there lol

Used the same paint to do my chin spoiler. I thought it went on very smooth on top of primer.
