Schoney, Albert and others, I've been reading mag articles and the internet for ever. None of the pros or knowledgeable restorers want to share their black brands,#'s or formulations.

Please ?????

Also may we assume that these single stage black (formulas) are not color sanded or polished........so I would think gun quality,
tip size and painter experience is all important. SATA or IWATA #
(???)

Thanks,

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
