volcano black pearl LZ9U
volcano black pearl clear coat LZ9U/W9

iirc my car has LY9B printed on it... would it make since to not have a clear coat though?

Call Carson and give him your VIN, I bet he can pull it up for you.

Default clear coat is part of two-part paint system. single-stage paint doesn't require clear coat

on a single stage paint basically the clear is built into the paint (think all-in-one). generally not thought of being as good as two-stage paint job. your car came with paint &amp; clear (two stage).

you're question seems odd.
do you think you're getting a single stage paint?

It's LY9B, clear coat doesn't have it's own color code.
