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.

It's acrylic urethane. It's tougher than acrylic enamel and easier to spray. You can spray it and enjoy it as is or sand it perfectly flat and polish it out like glass. If you have a few flaws in the finish you want to work out block them out. I dry sand the stuff with like 1500 grit on an M.A. sander. (multi action like D.A. only smoother) You can also use wet sanding paper like 1200 or 1500 grit and polish it out. Check with your local supplier. Sometimes they have clinics.
