ROD W Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Found this on the wood under the front seat. Being 1925, this was the first year Buicks were painted in Duco Lacquer 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuicksBuicks Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 It would seem that in 1937 they used enamel here in the US. I just had some fender work done on a fender and lacquer over the original paint caused a slight crinkle finish. Luckily it sanded and polished out nicely.

Gary W Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 All the 1937 General Motors bodies were finished in Duco Lacquers. (Nitro cellulose, I'm assuming?) I think they were simply referred to as "lacquer" because the acrylic lacquers did not come into use until the 50's. (someone can check me on that) Here's page 70 of the Owner's Manual. They call it lacquer finish, but the sketch says "Duco Top Coats" Page 90 of the Fisher Body Division states all GM bodies are surfaced with quick drying lacquers. But I thought it interesting at the bottom they state the protective finish should be applied by a trained workman......... .......to the particular type of lacquer finish on the car.

DonMicheletti Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 When I started restoring my 46S about 45 years ago, you could still get original, color formula nitro celulose paint. DUCO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
