PPG has the original ditzler paint formulas they are perfect match’s
Because they are the original formulas
Had mine in base coat clear coat
Beautiful color and depth
Now if you want the drab dead looking metallic you could have it made in a single stage paint

The latch is a 2 step latch like the doors, you may be too far and only catching the first latch, it should hold the hood tight on the rubber bumpers, that’s where you fine tune the level with the fenders
Or you can add some hood pins like the super B’s have, I kinda like the look of them
I agree with R413 , adjust the latch down so it holds the hood tight on the rubber stops or your hood is going to flap around while driving until it works the latch loose and folds over your windshield
ARMOR ALL/ NEVER , I used armor all one time and it destroyed my top, it was the original but still looked good, back in the 80's , I'm not kidding you in 2 weeks the top was shredded , I use Meguiars natural shine on mine
I’m running a 383 with a high rise intake, Edelbrock carb and the 440 base on my air cleaner under fiberglass six pack hood with hinges , lots of room, haven’t even tried my stock hood it’s leaning against my coupe project in the garage

I don't know if that's laquer, it looks like old synthetic enamel like what shieb's used , if it was laquer you can tell by finding a place that wont show and rubbing a cloth rag with laquer thinner on it if it is laquer color will come off, enamel wont, if it is synthetic that's all the better...
you've probably got it as good as it's ever going to look , laquer doesn't like temperature changes that's what causes a lot of the cracking , checking , you don't even want it under new paint , laquer primer included , it was used because it was cheap , just keep it waxed and enjoy your car the...
Got mine from VFN test fitted and trimmed one from corner but I think it was my fenders fault , been repaired before, everything else fit pretty good including the latch
