Come on guys, acrylic lacquer in at least 40 years old. And I don't think it's a recommended top coat over DP50LF, but I'll check. I plan to shoot some tomorrow night on 2 SSIII wheels. Then topcoat with PPG acrylic urethane, a single stage.

Eddie, get this book: "Hot to Paint Your Car on a Budget" by Pat Ganahl. The author does a great job of explaining paint systems, old and new. And how to paint your car at home with the new stuff. This is by far the best paint book I've read for a hobbyist. I can't stress enough how much I'd recommend this book for any car buff who plans to do any paint or bodywork on their car. It's that GOOD!! It's around $25.00, Amazon.com has it for $16.47.

The new paints are urethanes, not polyurethanes. Most can be sprayed with regular respirators and don't require air supplied ones.
