Continuation of some discussion on another thread, but this is paint specific. I have spent a bit of time going through posts (yes, also the paint sticky), and there is a lot of information, but not a lot of DO THIS, or DONT DO THIS, a lot of "it depends". So, my case....
My car is originally FF-1 Mist Blue, and was repainted a bit ago (unknown) some nice blue color that I don't know what it is. Clearly not re-painted Mist Blue, as you can see the original color in the engine bay and part of the door jambs. I will be taking it back to the original Mist Blue. I want a good #2 job, not a 100pt resto. Seems Laquer is not recommended, although that's the original type, yes? I don't want a BC/CC, as that looks artificial vs. what these cars used to look like back in the 60s. Then theres the primer, etch, etc. etc. etc.
What would people recommend? Some kind of polyurethane Imron type product? Can it be matched well to the original?
