Default 2-3 stage paint

the paint store should be able to tell you anything you want to know about whatever paint color you ask about.

Just checked. It's a 2 stage. 2 stage means base/clear. 3 stage means base/top(pearl, candy)/clear. If you like your car much you don't want anything 1 stage on it. Maaco uses that integrated clear crap paint. Anyway yea it's "regular" paint. If you are ever curious you can go to http://www.qnetonline.nl/SIKNA/SearchForm/SearchMethod and look up the Sikkens formula for the color. Click manufacturer, select vehicle make, enter paint code. Don't need to fill anything else out.
