Lacuqer paint

Well guys, lacquer sounds like more work than it's worth, which is why I've moved on from considering the car in question. I want LOW maintenance. I do like the appearance of a car to be halfway decent and clean but I could care less about a show-type finish. Not saying you can't get a good finish with lacquer but the inherent drawbacks are definitely NOT what I have in mind for my project. I'd rather spend time making it go FASTER, not dealing with the paint job. I realize that guys use lacquer successfully, but it's not for me if I have the choice.

If I actually end up keeping my Valiant, it will get a paint job using modern products done by a professional shop. Not a "show' job now, but a good paint job using BC/CC. Spray it and forget about it.

Thanks again for everyone's input, it's been helpful.
