Ironically, I sprayed my Yenko Deuce with DP90 mixed as a sealer (achieved by adding reducer to the concoction), and while I liked it for my Yenko because it matched the original black sheen it would have been a little too flat for Benjamin's '69 Nova. So, that is why I went with the topcoat / flattener method. I did learn that if you keep a nice coat of spray wax on the DP90 sealer coat, it will keep a real nice sheen - just keep it from being exposed to direct sunlight for too long.

Everything black in this pic is DP90 mixed as a sealer, I varied the reducer ratio to change the sheen on the various components.

If it's a 68 any chance the bottom was ruby red?

My 2 cents. Frt stubs vary on amount of paint applied. My original deuce had almost nothing. I tend to think the material was one of 4 brands of laquer. Unbuffed black laquer has a dull blue sheen. Opinion: Most anything you put on will be much better than the original stuff. Original old dp before it became dplf laid flatter and looked closer. Actually, if you let the dplf age in the sun, it starts to look like the original faded out laquer :-)

Also, DP90LF vs DP90 is not black (enough) do a spray out and look at it in the direct sunlight and compare it to another black. JMO. It does lay down nicely slightly reduced. JMO
