Default Re: Paint type

I've always preferred lacquer because it is faster drying and easier to work with . Lacquer looks more original . Single stage urethane is way more durable but will have more gloss than the original car did . I painted our 31 standard coupe with single stage urethane over 20 years ago . . The coupe has spent a good bit of outside storage over the years but mostly still looks good . As long as cars painted in lacquer are properly stored and took proper care of will hold up well . Lacquer is much easier to repair if necessary for me .
