    Basecoat/clearcoat? OR Single Stage?

    Basecoat/clearcoat? OR Single Stage?



    This car was restored and repainted and has spent the last 15 years of its life in a museum. (Maybe longer)

    Here's the car before I buff it out...






    Before I buff it out I'm going to test the paint to see if it's basecoat/clearcoat of single stage.





    Take your best guess!

    Single stage. Last time I had a chance to guess the answer to this question I guessed basecoat/clearcoat and I guessed wrong.
