Default 1969 Dupont Lucite Green Metalic 5012L

I have a can of this and it has not been opened but is not liquid when you shake it. Is it any good for anything ?? It is a factory mix can from Dupont
I just opened it still liquid but thick

It's LUCITE - Dupont Lacquer - the original paint applied - it's a factory pack.
You can still use it - just add a high QUALITY Lacquer thinner from the local jobber- I had some from the 80's recently I used which I had to add as much thinner as there was thick paint.
5012L is Code 59 Frost Green.
