Back in the day G.M. used lacquer paint at the factory. So, they had to rub it so it would shine. So, are door jams, deck lids, inside of the trunk and doors glossy or matte finish, like lacquer is before it's rubbed? Since, now days we pretty much use base coat clear coat paint. Personally, I like everything shiny. But, if one was doing a points judged (yuck) how picky do they get? Like with Mustangs, they deduct points if the paint's too smooth.

ill take a stab at it,but I was there only a few years before the switch to b/c. after they were sprayed they went too the drying ovens, the lacquer would flow into itself creating the shine. it wasn't as shiny as the outer but most couldn't tell.

It's been a lot of years. I forgot that the more direct heat you put to "matt" or "flat" paint, it'll make it have more gloss than it's supposed to have. Thanks for the wake up call. Guess I should have known the factory didn't rub every car than came off the line.

Agree with Bro, The cars were painted, baked, and out the door. Lacquer would have less orange peel, if buffed, but same gloss.
