Technical Ordering Lacquer Paint

Salutations,

I am almost ready to paint my 56 Pontiac! (there's a link to my thread in my description) I would really like to paint it with lacquer in the original colors (two-tone bolero red and nimbus gray). Does anyone know where I can buy paint, and how I can have it mixed?

Here are links to the paint codes (just in case) http://www.pontiacsafari.com/L1EarlyV8Pontiacs/56Colors/page1.htm

Be sitting down when get the price. Lacquer is bordering insanity for price lately

 

Thank you!

 

Reds are typically higher priced than other colors regardless of paint type, supposedly cost of pigments.

Just curious, why do you want to shoot a lacquer based product?

 

T.C.P. global in san diego,ca. ppg [expensive], or their own brand [reasonable]

 

I really want to paint the car myself, so a soft paint that buffs easily sounds really good to me. The fact that it's more original is a nice bonus too.

 

Bill Hirsch and and Hibernia Restoration also sell nitrocellulose and acrylic lacquer.

 

Please post photos of your results for those unfamiliar with lacquer.

 

Lacquer is very forgiving, even the newer acrylic stuff. I used an acrylic urethane on my Ford cut in and trim work which went on very well.
