This car is local to me - I thought I recognized it from a show last year. The paint looks to me like it's in too nice of shape not to be a recent paint job. Back in the day they used lacquer for those types of paint jobs, and after 30-40 years it would probably be showing a lot of crazing and cracking at this point. In any case, it's a very well executed ride.
And FWIW, the "outlining" techniques used on most of the panels on this car are relatively straightforward for a good custom painter to execute. The tricky ones are the ones that incorporate lace and other patterns, drop shadows, realistic flames, and other intricate details. Still pretty cool in an old-school kind of way.
