AFAIK our cars were finished with a synthol enamel, probably one tack coat and 2 full coats. I am not interested in going base coat/clear coat and am looking forward to an original or close to the original orange peel. How is this measured (profilometer), what was the original?

TIA

Ah! A corresponding inquiry to mine in Originality. Someone TRYING to recreate the proper orange peel! huzzah!
Have used Nason urethane on some cosmetic touch ups lately. Got a computer scan match color formula. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I found this locally in Palma Green: https://techinfo.glasurit.com/en_US/22-Line...-Mix)_en_US.pdf

Getting close with the block, might get to color next week. I will have several samples
