If it's a 68 any chance the bottom was ruby red?

My 2 cents. Frt stubs vary on amount of paint applied. My original deuce had almost nothing. I tend to think the material was one of 4 brands of laquer. Unbuffed black laquer has a dull blue sheen. Opinion: Most anything you put on will be much better than the original stuff. Original old dp before it became dplf laid flatter and looked closer. Actually, if you let the dplf age in the sun, it starts to look like the original faded out laquer :-)
