I think that such a shiny finish is quite out of place on a car that old. A
good polyurathane would look much better In my eyes.
Just my personal opinion.

[TR] Feelings about  paint types
  
All,
My '56 TR-3 is in need of a respray. 
It was last done in 1991 with RM Diamond paint system.  Although not original
type paint, I was very pleased with the looks of the finished product.  I took
the car to a shop last week and they recommended a base coat clear coat
system.  Said it would look much better and will hold up better.  I have mixed
feelings about a new paint system on a 56 year old car.  I've kept most
everything original but it will never be a concours car.  Any experience or
views on the subject?  I haven't seen a TR with a new clear coat system on it.
TIA
Pete
