According to my SS restoration guide - All 64 - 72 Chevelle's were painted in lacquer from the factory. The nice thing about lacquer is it's quick drying - so paint flaws during painting could be easily sanded / touched up - and numerous light coats is better than any heavy one. If you use a base coat / clear coat you can end up with a nice durable finish in the factory color, but it's not the way it came from the factory. It comes down to how pure do you want to be.

I have seen many very nice base coat clear coats.� Still on a personal opinion think lacquer is just number 1 with a beautiful glass finish that cannot be matched.� But I also know lacquer is an unforgiving finish to chips, long term maintenance, etc., whereas the 2 step paints are just so durable.
