If you’re going to all the trouble, why not use something that looks more appropriate on a vintage car…like real lacquer (cellulose)for instance. Clear coat always gives it that wet orange peel look. It’s sort of shiny, but there’s no reflection.

 Hard to find lacquer anymore...EPA Regs. Also, lacquer is not durable, it =
will chip and fade. If you use clearcoat and you properly wet sand and buff=
 it you will have no orange peel and it will have a warm deep look, not lik=
e shiny plastic at all.=20

Thanks Steve,
I put many hours into wet sanding the clear on the 'stang,  and it has a
marvelous shine to it, no orange peel, that's the beauty of clear coat, you
can take a much time as you like to make it look however good you want.
