Restored Corsair finishes

Hoping this one doesn't degrade into oblivion, but how is the flat finish on Ray Dieckman's old Corsair holding up after all these years

It local to this area. It's been a couple years since I've seen it and it looked good then. I saw it do a flyby last year from the beach at Atlantic City. Tom Duffy keeps his stuff indoors most of the time so it's been taken care of.

AFAIK, that's the same paint from when it was touring the country, so it must have some hours (and oil) on it.

I wonder what paint system he used?
