<VV> Question about paint systems

[DTerry8123 at aol.com]

Hi Cash,
I can afford to use either paint system since all I'm paying for are the  
materials. The labor is being covered by the person who caused the damage. He 
is  not able to buy the materials. His situation is much worse than  mine.  
What I need is to get the car back on the road because I lost  my company 
car. What I can't afford is to repaint the whole car at this time.  That's 
what I would like to do.

There's your limiting factor right there.   ;op

I'm going to throw a question out to the group. I  hope that it doesn't  
start a ongoing thread like the valve adjust  question.GGG.
The paint on my 65 Corsa (Regal Red) was damaged by someone  who was  
repairing an engine problem for me. While he had the car, he  left it 
outside and  
covered it with a blue tarp.(A big no no in my  opinion.) After the repairs 
 
were finished and he pulled the tarp  off, the paint on the trunk lid, top 
and  rear deck started flaking  off in big chunks. One was about the size 
of a  
basketball. It even  lifted the primer. He is repainting the damaged panels 
 
for me and we  are trying to decide what paint system to use. 
The paint on the car is  acrylic lacquer. It was painted in 1980 and  
overall looks good. It  is kept in the garage when not being driven.
He can do it in lacquer at  $150./ qt or we also talked about base  
coat-clear coat. 
My  question is what opinions does the group have for the best paint system 
  
to use? And will the base coat-clear coat system blend in with the  
lacquer? 
The  car will be used at least for awhile as a daily driver,  having 
suffered through  a lay-off and have limited  funds.
Thanks,
