Most of the paint jobs applied to classics these days has finish quality taht exceeds what our cars were delivered new with... frankly, I'm fine with a "factory" paint job - I too will be driving my car.

Congrats on taking this on yourself - and the great results!!
(wanna paint my car?!)

Yep, the typical factory paint job these days would be considered an OUTSTANDING paint job 40 years ago. No doubt.

I mean think about it, if you worked in a dealership back then, the cars on the showroom floor were massaged tremendously to get them to look good. Peel, dullness, over spray, etc.... were standard from the factory right up to the 90s.
