I'm not sure what you mean by that. As long as the surface is smooth the three different color matched latex paints I have, which are actually primer and paint in one, will be used on the entire side which was actually originally stenciled and sprayed. The base/background color, the second and then third color, followed lastly by the black outlines.


When you "restore" something, you bring it back to original condition.
If you have a '55 Chevy and replace the chrome on the bumper with
silver paint, it is just painted, not restored. Replacing lacquer
with latex is not a restoration.
