When I removed the sail vinyl from my 73 there was yellow contact cement left on the paint underneath. I used lacquer thinner(600 grade) to remove it with no damage to the paint. Therefore, I would *assume* the paint was enamel, and no, it was never resprayed.

As far as I know those Germans sprayed enamel on every car they ever did. All my VW's from 56 to 74 were enamel as well as both 914's. I can't think of ever seeing a lacquer VW or Porsche product.

Lacquer was a U.S. automaker thing. You can spray lacquer over enamel but ya can't spray enamel over lacquer. Didn't think lacquer was available anymore anyway.
