After doing a little investigating, my '90 was painted with lacquer as well. The metallic clear coat was used only after the switch to base/clear was made around 91 or 92 I believe. Unfortunately, the fact my Brougham was painted with lacquer originally made for a headache when I purchased some touchup from paintscratch.com They sent me two cans, base and clear. No wonder it never looked right, which is what led me to doing the sides of my car in black, but that's another story.
Sandy's knowledge might come in handy here, I wish I knew more about the Firemist paint jobs when they still used lacquer.
