I always heard it was lacquer (if that's spelled right)

The paint did tend to wear off them. All the ones I see in the junkyards have the paint worn down to the black color base material.

Not a big problem however, just respray every so often.

Kel, it does smoke some so I wouldn't do this at the kitchen table. Did mine in my garage and kept my face out of the fumes. I guess I should mention not to breathe the smoke in. LOL
