Vette(s): 79 L-82--------- ok so zz4 motor still at the interior Nice paint job guys

   Has anyone found a sizeable amount of lacquer in this country?(US)

   I would sure rather paint a few panels with Lacquer than change formulas. I hear it blends well also.

Thanks for any info.

   By the way GM Code 13 (silver) on a 79

 Can you (or do you) use clear laquer and put the tint / color in? If so try a guitar builder / luthier (how ever ya spell it) web site. Mcfaddens?

Most guitar builders use nitrocellulose laquer. Our cars were painted with acrylic laquer. GM called it the "Magic Mirror Finish"

   I`ve found clear I guess I`ll tint it to suit

I think oil will mix.

Test your tint first with a small amount to be sure.

Yup, Guitar dealer here...  Most vintage guitar paint was DuPont Car paint..   Try reranch or re-ranch.com, they are my paint guys..  Also, try Levine in Conn.  Theyre great for car stuff...
