Re: Sanding Car ready for Paint

I seriously doubt Packard was using nitrocellulose in the fifties. My guess is they used synthetic enamel like everyone else.

The only car I know that was painted with lacquer in the early fifties was custom ordered Chrysler Crown Imperial limousines, and they were finished at the old Derham custom body works not at the Chrysler factory.

Furthermore I don't see why an English paint company can't get the formula when the Canadian or American branch of the same company can.

Are there any Sikkens, DuPont, PPG, or RM dealers in England?
