Re: Paint on fender wells and firewall
Chuck, pm justbadjoe. My 2 cents is that originally none of this stuff looked anywhere near as good as it is restored to now. there were differences in tone, and texture due to differences in suppliers and processes. (dipped/sprayed)
Laquer tends to flash dry to a blue haze. If you don't rub it out, it stays that way. I'm sure most parts went through a bake oven which changes thing also.
I don't think they much cared how it looked on the frame/stub area, or under the hood much at all. It needed to look semi respectable for maybe 6 months after the sale, then it went to down hill. JMHO
