Re: What paint to use for Restoration??
Lacquer paint today is not of the same chemical composition as it was back in the day. I am not a chemist, but the main component missing is lead. It is not as durable nor is it as flexible as it once was.
To paint a car with a named product that is inferior to that which was applied by the factory, to appease show judges makes no sense to me. Solid colors done w/single stage paint can provide for quality paint jobs and great repair ability. BC/CC is the way I would go. But I am one of those guys who doesn't care about putting factory runs and panel miss alignments back into my cars.

Re: What paint to use for Restoration??
I have said it before and will say it again... If you were to travel back in time to 1967 buy a brand new camaro travel back to the present... drop it in a car show, it most likely would not even place... in a local show... (I believe this to be true for all except Corvettes)
Now that is what is SAD!!!!
