Re: How'd they do it?

Curious - I don't think Rinshed-Mason as Packard's major paint supplier has been once mentioned on here in a decade, and suddenly it's mentioned twice.
I sure agree with Leeedy about the quality of those nitrocellulose paint jobs; properly done and given care and avoiding the worst elements they can survive splendidly for 80 or more years. As many of you know most the paint on my 34 is original and good enough for 92+ points at a CCCA Grand Classic a couple of years ago. First failures are normally crazing over the lead joints and I'm beginning to get a bit of that. The major lead joints are quite large in area and are where the 4 steel panels are joined to form the roof. The 4 fenders and hood were repainted by me many years ago with Rinshed Mason nitrocellulose lacquer and fortunately I have enough left to do some spot repair on the roof areas if they become worse.
