I'm keen to hear if there has been any recent progress in finding a technique for this too. As you know, the LOS spatter is much more stringy than NOR, yet because of the far higher numbers of NOR cars, that is the effect predominantly striven for.
There is a good thread over at sYc with a lot of reference photos and test cards, but again, mostly targeting the NOR look. URL is http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/510226/all/1969_Camaro_Trunk_paint
I have not trialled it yet, but this product has been recommended to me as a good product to use:

That said, the difference between the 2 assembly plant's trunk paint is likely to be the application equipment, and without a lot of trial and error, not sure that this will ever be fully understood.

I have an LA car 11/3/68 1969 Z28 what particularly is the question your asking on trunk paint? My car has mostly original paint except the bottom pan needed re-sprayed. I was able to match the paint with available rattle can paint available just about everywhere.

Didn't LA use more of an aqua color for their trunk paint?
Look at reply #5 on these two posts which shows my 04B LOS 67 trunk. I can take closeup if you need them.

This is assuming 67 and 69 LOS used the same paint colors.

Here is another past thread:

To string out the light color play with the viscosity(higher) or air pressure(lower).
