Factory pack lacquer

[GeorgeLyons]

Looking for pints or quarts of NOS R-M, Ditzler or DuPont acrylic lacquer. MUST BE FACTORY PACK COLORS. Any make automobile, any colors. i would buy a quantity. Check your local paint distributors, this stuff is sitting around, virtually sellproof, they would likely be thrilled to sell it reasonable. Thank You, George Lyons

I have 1 pint of white and 3 pints of burgundy PPG Duracryl Acrylic Lacquer that I got mixed at my Dupont distributor in my area along with 2 gallons of acrylic lacquer thinner. I got this mixed to paint a hood and some other touch-up on my 69 Z, but never used it, I am having the whole car painted in BC/CC and I would like to sell the lacquer. As you well know, it is getting hard to get lacquer anymore.

PPG/Duracryl still makes Lacquer. The local store that I go to has it.

[/ QUOTE ] I saw he had another post under wanted. I didn't see that one until later. What is the difference between the mixed and the factory pack? Is it the quality of lacquer or is it because it was from the factory? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

OK, more detail, Factory Pack was paint factory mixed colors in pts & qts only with printed labels showing application by yr, make, model and color code. All paint/body supply stores stocked this stuff for all domestic cars built in the late 50s, 60s and 70's. It went away as color match got inconsistent and lacquer started dieing off. Many paint stores just unshelved this stuff eventually and stuck it away or threw it out. It went from being the top selling paint product (and factory pack was always first pick for a good match) to being sellproof. I saw a dumpster being filled with unopened cans of this paint around 1990. (enviormentally friendly disposal was not even an issue) The stuff is out there in back rooms, besements, etc........I just need guys to check locally with their old jobbers, not the NAPA store, but the old time places that still exist in every town. I'm your buyer.

gm used RM LACQUER

George, I know my "cousin by marriage" cleaned out the local paint store because his brother works there. He has the R+M in gallons that they basically gave to him for nothing, but I know the factory packs have been long gone from that store. He told me so. So, that is why I posted about the R+M lacquer. I know lacquer is a bitch, for better words, to do. I have never done a full on job, but my cousin has all this laying around with the scale and recipes. I know I'm not VOC compliant but I'm not a body shop, just a hobbiest. I will give him a call and ask him if he knows anyone who has some if you want?

[Donnie]

they used Ditzler, RM and DuPont.

[Schonyenko2]

Donnie is correct. They used more than one supplier.

Really nice paint touch-up displays. I am looking for pints and quarts. GM positively used all of the 3 listed suppliers for paint. From the days I worked in the shop doing a lot of collision repair on late sixties, thru the seventies cars, we always felt R-M Factory Pack Lacquer was the best match, our first call when we ordered paint. Seldom did the local jobber not have EVERY color we ever needed in both pts and qts in stock ready to deliver. Exception would be Cadillac Firemist colors and Corvette exclusive colors sometimes had to be ordered in from the company. We sometimes didn't even call for the paint til after work was in process. Overall repaints were store mixed because a gallon saved about $10.00 over buying 4 factory pack quarts and no panel match was required. Here's a little sidenote.....I used an unopened pint of Ditzler Factory Pack '70 Chev/Pont code 43 Citrus Green last year to get the color conversion correct for base/clear on my restored '70 Z/28. After an hour on the shaker it was a dead on match to the non-faded cowl and trunk underside of my car.

[Nova Jed]

WOW! You got lucky on that one. I had the local paint shop mix up some code 26 for my 71 Nova in bc/cc and it was a dead match without having something there to match it to. I do like that Citrus green.

I have a jobber in north carolina that i bought my laquer paint from. He has a mixing service & factory packs in at least quarts that i know of .I bought 2 1971 factory pack quarts code 43 / Lime mist met.just to have around for my original paint car & it was a total of 370.00.I then bought what he said would be his last mixable gallon of DDL3291 Dk. Grey with suede additive for my Z wheels & paid 475.00.It has been at least a year since my purchases, I don't think he would be thrilled to give his paint away cheap ,but i'll give you his # anyway.
