It is true AFAIK that no Evo's in the US have a clear coat.

SC's right, I don't think any of the Evo's got a clearcoat.. My Tarmac Black one definitely doesnt, and it chips and gets damaged REAL easy with pine tar, tree sap, or bird poo that gets baked on..

the way to tell if when you wax your car with a white rag if any of the color bleeds onto the cloth, then you have no clearcoat.

I don't use a wax with a cleaner, so the paint doesnt bleed onto the cloth no matter which of my cars I wax.. but when I got tree sap it hazed the paint, and when I was cleaning it, the paint did rub off. The problem is the paint is damaged pretty deeply. I do plan on painting the car about this time next year for the Car show at the Nassau Coliseum in 2004 (Not showing any cars this year.. sorry)
