Thanks EPA
Well, my L-88 hood came yesterday from Ecklers and there was no damage. It appears to be an excellent piece and I'm hoping that it doesn't need too much fitting. So I call my paint supplier to get some lacquer paint to match the rest of the car and he tells me they are not going to carry lacquer anymore because of the VOC regulations. He has 1 gallon of clear and a few gallons of thinner but no black. 
My car is done in Dupont 99S Diamond Black lacquer with a 380S clearcoat lacquer on top. It's stunning and I want to use the same paint. But where to get it?

My condolensces. 
I may have found a place to get lacquer. It's not dupont paint but beggars can't be choosers and I only have to do the hood. Here's a link to their site

If this stuff works for my hood I may just have to lay in a stash of it in case the EPA police decide to make spraying your own car with lacquer a felony.

I've been saying that for a few years now. The EPA, OSHA, DEA, and IRS are among many that needa go bye bye.
