Default Is 1990 Bright Red single stage paint?

Just confirming if the Bright Red paint on my 1990 is single stage. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Pretty sure you are dealing with a base/clear coat. Single stage was out of vogue quite some time before 1990 If I recall correctly.

Not sure if Bright Red is a single stage paint? But, it's
a well known fact that red ZR-1s are the fastest! 🏁

Eric,
Did a bit of research on your paint question. I was told that in 1990 the paint would have been a 2 stage urethane with a clear top coat.
Got this from 2 sources that should know. Hope they are correct!

It's rather simple understand if the paint is a single stage or had a clear coat. Take a little abrasive paste on a cloth and use it on a little part of your panels...if the cloth became red, the paint is single stage.
On my red 1990 is not single stage and i think it's original paint, because is a low mileage car
