After 5yrs of restoration I'm at the point of painting my 73 Zambezi green. While most people would take this time to change the color or put flames, I want to keep it as much original as possible. For those who can remember original 70s Porsche paint, or those who are fortunate to have a pristine original paint on their cars......what type of paint was used in our cars? Lacquer or base coat/ clear coat? I've read articles about both pros and cons on the subject, but never have seen it with my very on eyes.
What's you guys opinion? Not only what would look good, but why would it look good and last the remaining life of the car. Keep in mind that my car will not be a daily driver, but a historic non concours show car. I plan on the occasion local drives and attending local car shows. No Peeble beach concours car shows. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated it. |
