July 26, 20177 yr Author comment_526631 Hmm-m-m... Interesting. The factory sticker on my early MY '77 has but the top two lines of text (in the same typeface), without any mention of the type of paint used for good old Color 110. What year is your sticker attached to? Was this the configuration of cars before '77? Is it safe to assume that my '77 (or all S30s) were painted with Alkyd Enamel? Thanks for the input.... I love surprises. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58181-original-paint/#findComment-526631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 26, 20177 yr comment_526643 Yes, they are all single stage enamel. No clear coat. I had a professional cut my dull original paint down then polish it. See the difference in the two photos at the bottom of my post. Hand waxing on the left, after the guy buffed it up on the right. It made a huge difference, more so in real life than the photos allow.
