    1978 Corvette Paint Type

    I have a 1978 Corvette Pace Car that has some issues in the black. Can anyone tell me if Lacquer was still used in 1978? I have rubbed the paint with a little compound and I get black on the cloth, so I know there is no clear on the car. I don't want to paint the whole car I just want it spotted in on 2 areas of the right front fender. Thanks for any help here, Rick

            Rick, All (standard production)St. Louis built Corvettes used lacquer paints.The change over to Enamel basecoat with clearcoat started with the production of the 1981 Corvettes built at the Bowling Green plant June 1, 1981.As you know for a short time during the summer of 1981, Corvettes were being built at both assembly plants till production ended at St. Louis 8/1/81.Save the Wave.Hope this helps.>George
