As an owner of a 1965 Rally Red convertible, I approve of this thread, and would love to know more details of your experience.

She held up pretty well until about two years ago. Then bubbles started to appear on the rear. I put up with it for a while then the following year more bubbles appeared on the other side. It was obvious the problem wasn't going away.
I was going to have it spotted but when I looked close I noticed that there was some kind of an issue with most of the body panels.
I have done work for the owner of the shop, Excalibur, so I know they do top notch work. I also had my 96 collectors painted there years ago.
Gonna make this spring even more exciting.

It was painted in lacquer in 1985. It looked good when I got her in 2004.
