The Du Pont Corporation developed nitro-cellulose spraying lacquer, Duco, as a benefit from explosives research in 1920. First used on Oakland cars in 1923 and was made available to the entire industry in 1925. The quick drying ability removed the last barrier to true mass production. Pierre Du Pont was Chairman of General Motors and the Du Ponts owned 40% of GM.Quote:

Have you thought about buying some vinyl wrap and wrapping car this will last around 5 years even longer if kept out of the sun most of the time, is available in any colour you like, protects original paint and can be removed at any time leaving it untouched underneath...
