The red cars never had a lacquer layer- I believe anyway.

REV1's did for sure

Pretty sure Super Red 3E5 wasn't used until Rev 4/5 though.
The main reason I say this is because
a) if you look at paint in Halfords for Super Red 3E5 then it says that no lacquer is required
b) loads of reds is on pads when it's cut/compounded
c) the body shop I went to said there was no lacquer on the paint.

How far did the car get stripped back? Did they put a lacquer on it?
I am going to get mine re-sprayed.I am even considering a different colour.
Maybe gunmetal.
Thing is, it will probably cost an extra£1500 as the engine would have to come out
and all the gubbins under the bonnet would have to come out.
Huge job!
Hmmmm, might just go for Red again!!![]()
