When I went to body paint tech school in 1971 we were told that GM used 4 paint jobbers Dupont Acme, R&amp;M, and Ditzler. All laquer. All the same, but slightly different. So sometimes you had factory variences. Also that made panel painting difficult without blending into the next panel.

The lighter colors like EO or Cortez silver deteriorated quickly due to UV rays. Color fade, bleaching out, cracking was very common for any of those shades especially if they spent time in direct sunlight.

It's an interesting car. The tech side discussion has been interesting.

Having worked in a factory during that time we're probably lucky the cars looked as good as they did. Lotta those guys &quot;smoked&quot; lunch. </div></div>

Exactly.. You nailed it.
