...........if it has a metallic paint you can be nearly sure as •••• it will have clear coat on it. as for using thinners on your paint to get crap off i would be careful doing this incase some panels have been done in acrylic paint, probably fair chance they havnt but just in case, try a section you dont see, guard edge if possible.

You can't see it in the pic, but the paint was 2 feet up the poles and splattered into the LH lane.
