Does my vehicle have clear coat paint?
I need to know because I'm ordering Zaino. Its a 1990 model S-10 Blazer, and its Midnight Black. Inside the gluf box door on the bottom left the sticker says HISOLID ENAM
The WA number is 5118. Someone please help me. Local places are turning up answers split about 50/50 between clearcoat and non clearcoat.
Thanks
Jeff

Just a guess but yea! Was it painted before or original? If original then it was clear coated. A good way to find out is to look for clear chiping in the paint or find a unseed spot like the ledge of the door and scratch some paint off to see if its clear or the base color.

It is original paint, yes. The problem is that is gives evidence of being clear coated paint (no amount of rubbing with wax will make the rag turn black), but the sticker says ENAM for enamel paint. I really wish I could figure this one out. I also took a piece of sandpaper to a remote spot inside the door jamb, and it didn't get any black on the sandpaper. Weird.
