looked as hard as i can and im sure its a base colour. Just like red has no lacquer and fades. So im just trying to confirm it isnt lacquered.

100% correct another way is to use a clean white cloth and polish it. If the cloth turns the same colour as the car its solid, if not its cleared.

Have to polish hard but.
