What is the name of the plastic item on which the paint example is applied? I am trying to acquire a few and don't have a clue what they are called.

 

Thanks,

Chuck

aero shapes, or spray test panels, when i was getting my 66 colors in order, i had 4x6 plastic cards with different spray test for colors, you can bend them to see how it reflects light, a few places will spray a plastic mixer container as well, so you can see the color on curves.

Thanks. I Googled for "aero shapes" and didn't find what I was looking for. 4x6 plastic cards would work, but I would prefer something like this. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of spray can lids. Those would probably work as well.

I saw these called speed shapes. The ones I saw were clear, and sprayed from the bottom to show the color after it would be cut and cleared.

I actually found several places that sell these for about $1.20 each. Even found a couple of places that have them shaped as pickups or '32 Fords.
