Hi folks,
Here's a quick question for you pros: Is there a reliable way to figure out which type of paint (1 stage or CC+BC) is being dealt with?
That's assuming the owner doesn't have access to that information and/or cannot be bothered to get it for you.
Technically, you could get details from the manufacturer about how OEM paint is usually applied to that type of car.
But, if my understanding is correct, it's no guarantee the car you're looking at has not been re-paint using a different process.
I recall seeing pictures of a DA pad changing colour to match the paint when applied to single-stage paint.
Is there another less 'after the fact' test that can be tried to figure it out without having to grind away a bit of the paint?
thanks,
Crazy Vinny
P.S.: No need to reiterate on the importance of using a test spot.
