What paint to use for Restoration??

[MosportGreen66]

In the NCRS a major deduction in paint scoring occurs if the car is painted in BC/CC; even if you have made an honest attempt to dull BC/CC (appear as if it were lacquer). The door jambs, head light buckets and rear valance should all be lack luster areas (among others). Virtually every car that makes it to the highest of possible levels in scoring and showcasing (high point Top Flights and special collection cars) all have original lacquer paint. It is far more superior for the stickler restoration. Commonly you will find the Corvette owners who paint their cars in lacquer will bring covers to shows and park their cars in those plastic climate controlled bubbles. When dealing with Corvettes, your car has got to be 100% dead on perfect to win high prestigious awards with BC/CC. It is very costly and very hard to find a guy who will paint using lacquer today. The paint contents are known carcinogens.
