Horseman
Found where Imron did not even come about until 1970. I have not seen the big difference I would expect in the finish when they would have swapped to Imron.
But in defense of your memory, Imron after a few years of curing would be hard to tell from anything else and its "gumminess" in paper would have been less obvious. So, I would have to concede you are probably right about the mid-'90s BDL finish being Imron.

Sitka,
The "Imron" formula has been around for a long time, and I'm pretty sure it's been around since the BDL was introduced in 1964. They didn't call it Imron until Dupont introduced the auto paint version in the early 70's.
I use industrial Imron in the course of my work frequently--currently have about 30 gallons of the stuff setting in my shop. There are numerous lines of Imron produced by Dupont, including some clear finishes.
