What type of factory paint?

[NewbridgeJob 0]

Does anyone know what type of paint was applied to Corrado's at the factory? From the look I'd assume it was a 2k based paint but wanted to make sure.

 

Am I right in thinking that most cars pre 1990 were 1k acrylic paints?

 

I know you can test the panels with thinners first but thought I'd check here first

The non metallic colours may well be a single stage 2k paint though I do doubt that they would be. But the metallic finishes will definitely be two stage base coat and clear due to the fact that you can't acquire a metallic finish single stage.

I'm going to attemp to respray my car as the paint is shocking and wanted to do it in 2k. Obviously the 2k will react with 1k paint.

 

I guess the only real way to find out is the rub some thinners on and see if the paint comes off. Didn't really want to have to do that but I might whip the door card off and do it on the inside or something.

It will be 2k. You can put 2k over cellulose paint without any reaction as long as its properly preped.
