It really should have clearcoat, although its hard to tell. If it doesnt have a clear coat on top of the paint, it will most likely have the lacquer mixed through the paint. Either way it has to have some protection, if thats pure paint that will dull, crack, strip etc before you can say golf gti.

rub the paint with some polish, if theres red on the pad/cloth when you've done a small area then it doesnt have a clearcote.
