I was following a thread about 62 interior red paint. One respondant mentioned the book "Corvette V8 - 1955 - 1962, Complete Owner's Handook published by Floyd Clymer". I also have this book and looked up the paint chart that was referenced.
There are two paints listed for the 1960 exterior - One set is labeled Acrylic Lacquer and the other is Regular Lacquer. For example, under Acrylic Lacquer DuPont Lucite for Roman Red is 2931-LH and for Regular Lacquer DuPont DUCO for Roman Red is 2967-H. Also for 1960 Interior the only listed for Roman Red is the DUCO 2967-H.
So what was used on the exterior of 60 for Roman Red, the Acrylic lacquer or the Regular Lacquer, and what is the difference in the two paints, Acrylic lacquer and Regular Lacquer?
Does it relate to gloss level, or simply different chemistries in the paint makeup?
Thanks,
Don
