Hi Rob, the paints are very different in texture.
If the paint is original on your car, and your paint number on the ID Tag starts with 256 or 253 its original Nitro finish.
Magic Mirror Acrylic starts with 585.

Not many original finish Nitro finishes left.

As far as Nitro goes I remember my dad still using it into the late sixties (maybe even the seventies) to paint all sorts of things - it had a different smell to the later acrylic.
When did Holden stop using it altogether as a finish?
Any old painters out there remember when it went out of production, full stop?
Is the old heater any good?

I know Stewart! How cool.
I haven't started the motor yet, just working with the paint first.
