This doesn't really apply to Fords but to Europe.

My GFs dad owns a '72 MGB GT (92k original) with a metallic green (originally BRG) re-painted in England.

What I want to find out is would this be a Laquer or a Clear coat finish?

It needs buffed as it has sat for 15 years (in storage) and I don't want to hurt the finish by using the wrong type of polishing compound.

Thanks in advance,
Eric
