I am a novice painter, I used acrylic enamel using a hardener. Its cheap if I mess up & more durable than the OE lacquer. Bodymen seem to go into a trance when you say 1964 so I am gonna do it myself I suppose. My spare was also on the driver's side but I moved it as when I haul stuff I put it on my side. Spare side mount was a $14 option in 1964. Brian
