Paint Question
 

When did Porsche start using clearcoats? I have a 1984 Carrera cab that has original paint in great condition that doesn't have a clearcoat.What kind of paint does this car have? How would I get the rubber trim at the front on the bumper to lay flat? Thanks Gord.

My 84 has clear coat. You need to replace the "smile" and then keep it conditioned so it doesn't dry out.

The bubbling smile is rust, there's metal bonded in there.
In '84 Porsche clear coated all there cars.
I have a good one if you want it cheap.

Buy the cheap smile ". Yours is toast

this question has been asked many time on the forums and i have stated then they changed from single stage colors to clear coat colors for there solid colors .
your 1984 porsche was a single stage color only . porsche did not start clearing solid colors un till years later .

Thanks guys for the replies and good advice.962 I've read some of your posts and it's good to have your knowledge.
