Mpgp1999 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I’m planning to repaint my db once it’s back together. I don’t know what paint was used. It could have been nitrocellulose lacquer but I think it’s too new for that paint. I think in 25 it was some sort of single stage acrylic enamel. If anyone knows what was done at the factory please let me know. I plan to use Dodge Brothers Blue 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Maybe it was pigmented varnish or alkalid enamel if not lacquer. I doubt it was any acrylic formula. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Nitrocellulose lacquer. Dupont’s “Duco” was the first developed specifically for the automotive industry at this time, the specific need was to spray rather than brush and the drying time enhanced. A car would take a week to paint prior to the invention of “Duco”. Acrylic lacquer did not come into vogue until the 1950’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 DB used Ditzler products. The loose parts were dipped in black enamel. The main body was painted black enamel with a garden hose then baked, we have actual video. The blue on closed cars was called colored varnish. It was probably brushed on and sanded and polished. Painting the car will cause you to fail at HPOF, even if you use a garden hose. The O in HPOF is for original. Not with parts if could have came from the factory with but exactly with the stuff it came from the factory with. Original paint, upholstery, top, etc. Wear items like tires car be replaced. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
