Re: Buffing out lacquer

Here's a pic of my 48 CHief. Painted in 1972'ish with DuPont acrylic LACQURE. It has swirl marks that are only noticeable in direct sunlite and only at certain angles.
I always get compliments on it.
Again, lacquer has become a dirty word ONLY BECAUSE of the fastidious metal preparation required. Laquer WILL show any minor flaws such as metal dents or uneveness. So the swirl marks has become little more than trendy witch hunt to discourage laquer use.
Cadillac (and all GM passenger cars) prior to about 1980 used lacquer. I remember the swirl marks well of new Buicks and chev etc setting on NEW dealer lots.
Ford and Chrysler used enamel.
