It has been years and lots of things have changed but in the old days they painted lots of coats of lacquer and sanded and buffed after each coat. I sprayed some lacquer but not much in my time.

Bill, This is a new "flat look" in urethane paint. Flatz Hot Rod Red The color is not very accurate on the website sample. I think that smokemcat's pictures are more accurate. Here are some pictures from the web. IMHO some of the colors work better in flat than others.
