Hey all,

Wondering if my 93 notch has factory clear coat paint. I think not due to the amount of red that shows up on my polishing pads.

Thanks.

If there is CC failure you'll see red also, but if the paint is in decent shape it's likely a single stage

It did have clear coat. Its just severely oxidized already... I would lay off any rubbing compound ur using.. there's not much that can be done to save the paint now so might start saving for a repaint...

Clear coat was an option on my car, so with that said I guess it is possible to not have it.

Vibrant red was available in clearcoat and non-clearcoat. Without a color code we will never know though.
