    question about paint layers

    I can say with certainty that midyear Vettes were primed with red oxide, and I have no reason to believe that 1959 cars were prepped any differently. Far as I know, the characteristics of acrylic lacquer are the same as nitrocellulose lacquer. Look on the insides of your doors, and you will...
