[alfa] RE: No Clear coat?

["Reeve, John @GSI" <John.Reeve@xxxxxxxxxx>]

No clear coat huh?  I'm not sure how common that practice is...well; I've
never noticed it before.  I do see people using singe stage which I'm not a
big fan of; it fades really easily if you don't wax often enough.

My understanding is that just plain color would lead to a very dull finish.
Well, if not properly taken care of.  I'd imagine they used single stage
paint and not a base color and clear combination.  Unfortunately, I'm not an
expert painter, although I did just finish working the paint on my GTV-6.
For all those interested to see what a GTV6 hood looks like stripped and
repainted with single stage check out my weblog.  www.xanga.com/jrreeve

Hi Ray:

Well, I've also got an '87 Spider Veloce, and there's no clear coat over 
the "Nero Pastello", so I don't imagine there'd be a clear coat over your 
"Rosso".

I can't say anything about the metallics, though, other than I wish I'd 
found one to buy at the time I bought the black Spider, either that dark 
red or blue/gray.

Regards,
