  8. Thank you guys, We decided to send some paint chips to the lab to have them tested for the type of the paint. Then we will see how to continue. joe
  9. Thank you! Bloo used the term „alkyd enamel“. I am pretty sure it’s what i am looking for. We had these paint here too, from appearance and shine it looks very close. It was a single component paint without any hardener it needs 1 day to dry.
  10. Thank you ! I think it’s the Alkyd enamel i am looking for. Will it smear while sanding it with a maschine? Was it a single component paint ar was hardener added? Is it possible to paint enamel over enamel? Is there a test to be proof the car was painted with enamel before? In this special case i try to trace down the paint on a 51 Merc 2D repainted in the 80-90ies. I am sure it’s not painted with acrylic paint since it’s not that shiny and the paint is much more soft. also the fuel dripping from filler neck let the paint crinkle. Thank you so much ! Joe
  11. Hello, i am looking for help on the various American car paints. Since I live in Germany and we obviously have completely different names for the individual paints here, it is very difficult to get information about it and to assign it. My main concern is to learn how to differentiate between paint systems through tests. There is the modern, water-based acrylic paint with hardener. It's of no interest to me. Then there is probably the early nitrocellulose paint from the 1930s, used by Studebaker for example. How can you test this safely and what is the name of the paint in American? The most interesting for me is the paint from the 70-80 years, which is called "thermoplastic paint" in Germany and is not compatible with modern acrylic paint. How can I identify this varnish with certainty? I know that it is very difficult to sand this paint with the machine because it immediately starts to smear. What is the correct name for this in US? I own several American cars which appear to have been repainted but the type of paint used is unknown. Since partial repairs have to be made, I would like to continue using the same type of paint. Thanks in advance for information Joe
