need info on clear / finish type used in early 80s

[hwnd]

what type of finish did Jackson use in the early 80s?
i know almost little to nothing about the paint and clear used way back then.

wanting to start a resto project using era correct consumables.

don't know for a fact on Jackson but most custom paints in the early 80's were lacquer

this is one i regret letting go but for the sake of example - this '84 RR would have had a lacquer finish?
any ideas on the paint used on this back in the day?

my respect and awe grows for those guys and their talents as i learn about this stuff.

Ask Mike Shannon. I'm sure someone here has his email. I think I did years ago.

Polyester had a bad habit of cracking and lifting. I bet that's what the clear coat was.
