I think I've had to abandon my dream of making it look like 50 year old paint. I'll try not to make it look shiny and new when I paint it. We'll see.....

This is interesting. I've never heard about bb/sb color differences either I think the solvent on fresh paint works! Try good old gasoline. Let the paint dry completely first though.
The two different shades I read about years ago if not decades. I think it was for my auto shop class I did a paper on Corvettes and it was note worthy item among a pile of other trivia.
To age the finish, I have heard of pouring lacquer thinner on a few spots. Not sure how you pull it off.
I'm going to ad on here....Just found out that my favorite chevy orange...Plastikote 200 chevy orange by Valspar appears to be no more. Bought out by Sherwin Williams and they deleted the entire line. Dupli-color it is now.Go with DE1607 chevrolet orange-red not DE1620 chevrolet orange which says "orange chysler" as well in the fine print. Now I'm talking 60's atuff here...The 1607 will pass but 1620 looks too bright like lipstick kinda.To clarify I'm talking about rattle can heat paint. I won't mix for engine stuff. My 2C
