Charlie,
How nice to find a car with original paint.
Yes, some of the cars had different paints. On some, the the wings
were painted with enamel because it was more chip-resistant, and the
bonnet, body sides, doors, etc were done in "cellulose enamel", which
Americans call lacquer. Chip Olds wrote about this somewhere in the
T-Series Handbook. I do not know which colors were done in two paints;
not all were.
My dad polished right through the cellulose enamel with his favorite
Dupont #7, which said on the can "safe for enamels". He learned, sadly,
that "enamel" meant different things on different shores of the Atlantic.
