Easy way to tell if a car has a lacquered coat. Rub a small amount of T-Cut into the paintwork, if the colour of the paint is visible on the cloth then you haven't got a clear/lacquer coat.Speedlaw wrote:Does the Flash Red have a clear coat on it?
I know that VW has a color, called 'Signal Red' here, that is basically red (non-metallic) with a clear coat to keep it shiny. That actually holds up pretty good, as far as reds go.
My sisters Flash Red Polo didn't have a lacquer coat, but my dad's red Passat (not sure which red exactly) did!
