I bought some lacquer paint in Arizona and smuggled it back into California. It wouldn't surprise me if the formulation of the lacquer is different from the original paint put on the cars in the 60's.

Yes it is available..or at least in North Carolina it still is. But it all depends on if your state allows it or not....and with your Public Profile page not filled out...I do not know what state you are asking about.

Laquer paint today is different then when the cars were new. It is way softer and lacks durability. I would steer clear of it unless you want an NCRS show car and even they allow modern paints as long as it looks like laquer. Just my 2 cents.
