Polka dot paint - There is a Navy story about a guy sent for that - he
used to work for Dupont (big paint people)
and brought back a mixture of oil and water based paints - spray on...
Polka dots (actually I think it would make

They do make that kind of paint, it's a standard product. We used it to
repaint automobile trunks when I worked in a paint and body shop. It
matched the original paint in the '60s model cars.
