Factory-applied Tornado Red is single-stage paint.

Default Who cares why, be happy they did it that way....

No clear coat failure unlike a lot of the other colors they used. And the "tornado pink" issue is only a problem if you don't wax your car once in a while. The pic shows my car in its original '84 paint back in '99, no pink going on here. Of course I had the car painted in '03, but only to better match the body kits fresh coat of paint.
