Here is a picture of a 30 year old paint job done in Bill Hirsch lacquer. I know it's just a picture and don't like the colors, but I think the paint looks great.
The second picture is a 50+ year old lacquer job.
With the lacquer jobs the color is suspended in the vehicle whereas the two stage method is a color layer with clear slapped on top of it. I remember Bob Turnquist's 31 that was originally maroon and beige which he redid maroon and silver that was all the rage at the time. The maroon part was the best lacquer job I've ever seen. Really beautiful. Like looking into the eyes of a beautiful girl. But the silver was two stage and it hit you in the face. If only he had done that car maroon and a beige that matched the convertible it would have been a knock out.
