Steve, SA was mixing their own paint, so I would think whether the color was standard Ford or not shouldn't have impacted the type of paint they would use......what mattered was what they were accustomed to using. SA seemed to think the acrylic lacquer minimized problems (ie, saved $) according to a '65 memo they sent AC. It would be interesting to know if there was any documentation on the type of paint they used for the Hertz Mustang stripes or the basic paint on those cars (if they painted them or just received them painted by Ford), as stripe material may not necessarily be appropriate for an entire car paint job.
