  • Clear Coat

    Does anyone happen to know the paint code for white SVOs? Also did the white SVOs come from the factory with a clear coat?

    The code was 9L. Yes.

      I did a quick search and this was the closest I saw. Did the 86s have a clear coat? I thought 86 was a transition year from enamel to clear coat. So whats the verdict?

        There is no clear coat on my 85.5 9L. Never was!
        It has always been my understanding that the black, white and green cars had no clear coat.

              ....but a restoration shop should be able to easily tell the difference, right?

                The one that I had must of been a re-paint(9L). I knew that some of the paint that did and didn't(clear coat), but I thought that I read in a dealer brochure that they did. I'm sorry for my wrong info.

                  I've got a 85.5 9L (mostly parted) that does have clear coat. Door tag shows it to be a 9L, it might have been repainted and clear coat added.

                    Like I said in the other tread. I'm pretty sure there is no Clear. Though, I'm clearing mine to match the Lightning. I'm using the Lightning's paint as a reference for what it will look like when I paint over the chalk. I heard Clears make you go faster.

                      I just realized the OP asked about the 9Ls, I'm asking in regards to the 2Rs

                        Well Ryan
                        Go out and look at your 2R and tell us what it's got. The suspense is killing me.
                        Your's is the only 2R I have ever gotten a good look at, and I forgot to check that. I would have suspected that it being a "solid" color like the ones I mention it would not have been clear coated from the factory. I thought that was done to the metallics only.

                          Chris - I would but the car isn't here. I ask because I thought it was an enamel, when I waxed it my pads turned red. However, when I took it to the restoration shop (she was introduced to the wall at Summit Point) he said it was cleared..... I got confused then....

                            I seriously doubt your car came clear coated. If you want to keep it accurate ask others here with stock 2R's
