J.D. said:Does anyone know why white is the only color that is not clearcoat on 91-97 models? Is it because clearcoat yellows with age and is most noticeable on white paint?
Also, what is 3-stage (again for white, 94-97)?
Thanks.

A 3 stage paint job would be;
1 the base coat (color coat)
2 clearcoat with color added
3 final layer of clearcoat
I second that. I've abused the hell out of the Oxford White on my '84 TC, and the only places the paint's wrecked are where the body underneath is rusting away.J.D. said:Well, so far it's the best coat of paint I've ever had. Still as smooth as a baby's bottom.
