Re: Clear Coat?
Yes it should, although it was very thin from the factory so be very careful if you wet sand it.

Re: Clear Coat?
All ZR-1 factory paint has clear coat on the top of it. You can see it on C4's that are left out in the elements as it tends to seperate from the paint

Re: Clear Coat?
Don't use cheap sandpaper, I used Norton first, Trust Me I learned the hard way while trying this.
I wet sanded my black 95 about 2 weeks ago with 2500 Meguiar's paper. It seamed to have a fair amount of clear, I didn't sand through anywhere and I sanded Most of the orange peel out. Good luck

Re: Clear Coat?
Ok thanks! I was just curious. Got dinged 2 points in a big show Saturday for "swirl marks" which I know I have some. (micro scratches) I'm on a detailing forum and they were asking if it was clear coated or not. I had no idea..lol
Gonna clean it up with some compound....

Re: Clear Coat?
This is what you need if you're having bad swirl marks.
Get some 3M Perfect-It Ultrafine Machine Polish Follow the instructions, keep it wet.

Re: Clear Coat?
My 91 is black (and has an older respray). I learned how to machine polish because of this car. It was just getting so jacked and looked terrible under the bright sun. There are so many products to polish paint these days- it is quite effective and safe if you use known good combinations. I wouldn't think wet sanding would be needed for swirls.
