Does anyone know if a Provincial White Lansing built 65 would have been painted with Acrylic Enamel, or Acrylic Lacquer. I have tested a small spot, mineral spirits does not appear to soften it, but acetone does. Thanks in advance for any info.

The Fremont cars had the acrylic laquer on the tag.
I would assume it was laquer. But you know assumptions.
Why do you ask?

I, going to do a complete paint on the car because the original paint, while still very strong, has rock chips, scratches and rust under the windshield. I don't want to strip the car. knowing what is on it may dictate what I decide to use to seal and paint the car. I know most metallic colors were lacquer, I was a painter's helper back then as a teenager, but most solid colors were still enamel. I have read that these cars could be painted with either, maybe Lansing cars had enamel, Fremont had Lacquer?

It's possible with the crazy regulations we have and have had here in Commiefornia.

GM used lacquer exclusively in the 1960s. The banning of lacquer didn't happen until the last 15-20 years or so, even in Calif.
