I recently purchased a can of the old Dupli-color spatter paint as well as the new formula ans a can of Eastwood trunkpaint. I used a rear door as my test subject. I scuffed the paint with steel wool and wiped it down with acetone. The original Dupli-color went on very heavy similar to undercoating, it had the most texture when dry. The new Dupli-color goes on very flat and looks more like a metallic paint than the other two, smooth finish when dry. Eastwood brand seemed to resemble the factory finish, not as much texture as original Dupli-color, but not flat.
