Brett, When the blue came off it took some gold yielding gold on the backside of the blue chip. The car still remains with a layer of gold. It just won't shine and has a sandy finish. The car looks like an old war horse which is really what it is and it is going to stay that way.
Mike, Remember Hertz gold wasn't really a COBRA color or a Ford color but used by Shel to paint the stripes on the Hertz Mustangs. Think cheap. So probably enamel. Whatever it was it was different than the blue laquer used by Carter because there was no permanent adhesion.
