Lacquer in straight paint is difficult to find due to current laws and lack of toners.

If you do a search you'll find allot of posts related to the original Dark Charcoal Metallic (what for called black on 76-73 Mustangs) and the suggestions on how to apply a base then the final color

You will/should find a few suggestions about suppliers of the paint and other details. If you don't find what you need after reading all of that please post again - SEARCH is your friend ;)

IF you use TCGobal the paint code is listed on the old paint chips shown there and they will offer the color in a number of products. They do supply lacquer also (did the last time we talked) but again the stuff is getting more difficult to find
