Default Lacquer paint

I talked to the people at this site:
http://www.paintscratch.com/

They claim that their "single stage" paint for old vehicles is the "real" lacquer.
And, from what I see, you can buy it in quarts and gallons to spray.

Anyone have any experience with their paint?

Tom,
I have no experience with them, but I would stick with PPG for Lacquer paint. They are a big company who will stand behind their product, and they have a whole line of products that are compatible with it. I have been using PPG lacquer and urethanes ever since Dupont pulled out of the lacquer market in my city, and I have bee nvery pleased with their products.

Regards, John McGraw

here are 2 links

http://www.ppg.com/cr-refinish/phase1/frmHome.asp
http://www.autocolorlibrary.com/

the second link is a division of PPG and will give you the older color samples and they can still mix up the old formulas to match the correct colors.
