What is Duco?

The word Duco was a trade name given to a product line of automotive lacquer that was used to seal a motor vehicle’s bodywork before rolling off the production line. Duco was developed by the DuPont company in the 1920s, and was a nitrocellulose lacquer or paint extensively used until the early 1960s. Under the Duco brand, DuPont introduced the very first quick drying multi-colour line of lacquers that were especially designed for the automotive industry. The term Duco is still used in every day language by a number if Australians.
