Re: What paint to use for Restoration??
I find that Lacquer is very easy to work work with if you know the product. The main problem I find is thinning it the proper amount with the correct thinner to get that flow out just right and setting the gun flow properly. In Houston with the high humidity, the paint was frosting up due to condensation so I ended up using a retarding type thinner to slow the drying time, and it worked, giving that factory type finish. Due to the high VOC's, it has been outlawed since the late 90's but still can be had if you know where to get it. I have tried enamel based paints and the look just does not match my original paint Lemans Blue 69 SS.
