Bill,

I am not looking for orange peel. The few original Cobras I remember seeing in the 60's had very good finishes. Much better than what Detroit was doing.

My problem is that the modern Basecoat - Clearcoat finishes have a "Wet" look that even the best 60's paint jobs didn't have. For me it's like putting bare carbon fiber on a Cobra, it's from the wrong time period and looks totally out of place.

If I can get the look of a top quality 60's paint job with modern paints and better durability, I am all for it.

Can a modern single stage paint be made to have the look of a high quality Lacquer paint job? If so, how do you do it? One problem I see here is that I have to find someone who is in practice with single stage paints. I don't want my car to be someone’s learning experience.

Thanks,

Kevin
