It is catalyzed clearcoat. I posted a picture of it a couple of pages back.

Missed that.

Good. Lacquer is easy to work with and very forgiving but really not used much anymore because of lack of durability...

I like your green very much, but it is the lightest version of 240 green I have ever seen... Again, mine is a water based mix so that may have some play here but I'm not sure. It DOES look very close to the 2335 on the nose of the fender (to which I am partial) The other colours I sprayed look nothing like their paint chip samples either!

That's what I mean by lighting makes such a difference.  The 240 color can go dark or light depending on light quality.  Direct sunlight will make it dance, if it's cloudy it's just........green.

I am very partial to a dark green car, and I think if I ever decide to paint a car myself I'd decide on something similar to the darkest green you have sampled.

 

Look forward to seeing what you go with :)

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I am humbly impressed with the quality of the test panel. Without taking any real steps to prevent contamination and dust, the finish looks very good! Needs a little colour sanding and maybe a third coat of clear... but, wow!
