I am about to get my '65 Mustang painted, and need some suggestions.
I understand that lacquer is superior in some ways to enamel, but
it is very expensive (14 coats you know :-).

What brands of acrylic enamel do you like?  Does adding a polyurythane
do any good?  How many coats (is 3 enough)?  Are there any tricks or
questions that I should be asking of the people I talk to about doing
the work?  What is a fair price to just paint the car? (I will do all
my own body work and remove all parts, I just don't have the facilities
to spray).

Replies by mail please,  any comments welcome.
