What did 914's come with originally. I am told VW and Porsche were some of the first manufacturers to use clear coats. My local paint dealers can mix the colour codes I provide them but cannot find if they were enamels or clear coated.

I hate clear coated solid colors. It looks plastic and fake. It's like looking at something through something. I think it clouds the rich pigment. I would use a nice single stage urethane like Dupont's Cromaone. You wet sand it and buff it just like the clear coats out there now. This is like the factory paint on steroids. Leave the clear for the metalic colors.
