Re: 1959 GMC "Ol' Indian"

Those old paints did not have a clear coat, they were single stage. Enamels (like on the trucks) dried shiney. Acrylic laquer, like the picture, dried dull and needed cut and buff to get the shine. Most guys that do the CLR cover with flat or satin clear to keep the rust from coming back.
