I am about to paint my 65 conv. the original Vintage Burgundy. Does anyone know if this color was originally metallic? I plan on painting the car Single stage Urethane. Any thoughts positive or negative. I have read it makes for a nice deep look finish and is easier to maintain. I know that base coat clear coat will stay nicer longer and is shinier. But I figure, it's not like the Urethane is going to look bad in a couple of years and if it's easy to maintain I am ready to do the work. Also I live in Canada, so it's not like we get Arizona type sunshine. Any comments would be appreciated.

Don't believe there was any metalic, mica, etc. in that color.

just check the paint code X on a 64-67 ford mustang,and the formula calls for med aluminum,(thats a metalic toner ).
