I am going to repaint the metal backs of my 66 bucket seats. I was planning on using spray cans. I believe semi gloss black is correct, but should I be using lacquer or enamel. Which is more durable?
Thanks for the input.

I would use lacquer. If you spray several very light coats allowing each coat to dry before applying another it will turn out fine.
If I recall these backs have a grain in them and the lacquer won't fill this grain the way enamel will.
