My metallic silver '74 2.0 was repainted back in the mid 80's because of supposed clear coat failure. Was this common back in the day.....if so, why.....what caused the paint to fail?

914s would have been lacquer not a base clear or at least that would have been the correct era for those types of paint..I have never seen a Porsche pre early 80s that had clear.

Pretty sure the metallics were clear coat back to the early 70's.....almost positive on that. I think Cal is correct that he would have had a clear on that beauty. |
