[Mark IV]

Most of the Eastwood rattle can paints are private label packaging of Seymour of Sycamore paints. You can tell by the Seymour product code ink stamped on the bottom of the can.

Seymour was the inventor of spray can paint (every "tagger" should send a thank you card) and produce a very high quality product. They do specialized colors like "stainless steel" and a big line of MRO paints. I was a Seymour dealer when I had my restoration shop and we used a lot of the stainless steel for replicating bare metal as well as the "Aluma-blast" for alloy and the "1200 degree cast-blast" for exhaust manifolds. They produce a good selection of engine paints that are properly matched to the original colors. We had some custom colors packaged that we wholesaled to retailers like "Ford yellow" as used on 50's truck engines, 59-60 Thunderbird 352 valve covers, etc.

One of Seymour's unique features is the agitator in the can is not a round ball but rather a concave, disc shaped steel piece. The shape allow the agitator to get into the edges of the can bottom and release the congealed pigments to mix into the carrier media.
