Call Hibernia Auto Restorations Inc. in Hibernia, New Jersey. They are the only ones that deal with Old Fashion Lacquer (Nitro Cellulose Lacquer) and Acrylic Lacquer that I know of that are left. I found them advertising this in Hemmings years ago when I was having my 70' Monte Carlo painted. I wanted at the time in the color Black, Old Fashion Lacquer for the way it looks on a car without the use of Clear over the finish. They will ship it right to your door.

Hi Barry
correct me if am wrong but dont they wax a small spot to see if pigment is on the rag? With bc cc that would be impossible . as far as paint quality
it would be very difficult to get any ureathane to match the finer orange peel of laquer . If i could get a gren light from the NCRS i would love to be able to do this tri power car in single stage daytona yellow . Welcoming opinions thanks you paul

NO, they are NOT suppose to do testing of the paint by any solvent, wax, etc. The olny means of testing they are suppose to do is purely visual.
i believe a memo was even sent out a while back to that affect telling all judges to follow those guidelines.
NCRS judges on the APPEARANCE only.
If you can make other single stage appear like the original lacquer, or even make BC/CC appear like original lacquer (harder to do) than go for it I'd say.
The biggest issue with BC/CC I believe is in places like doorjambs that weren't buffed out in the original lacquer but in BC/CC would therefore end up being too glossy. There are ways I've heard that people try to get around thast issue by somehow toning down the gloss in places like that.
On the orange peel, the original paint jobs were buffed out but it's not like they were going for show quality paint - these are production line cars. There is going to be some orange peel in them originally not to mention other "flaws" such as harder to access areas having a much thinner covering of paint etc.
I'd venture a guess that the VASt majority of cars that have been repainted at some point in their life have much better paintjobs than what they left the factory with.
