Paint type of Plymouth Laser

Blazern00b · 03-31-05, 09:56

Well after all the attention my car has gotten, the gf wants her car done. My question is does anyone know what type of paintjob a 91 Plymouth Laser / Mitsu Eclipse has? Is it BC/CC or SS? I am off on saturday and she was thinking I would be able to do it then. Its in pretty sore shape, not much shine anywhere, swirls all over, etc etc. I was thinking of claying, then starting with 80 and moving to 83 if needed.

Thanks!

Depends on the color, most were cc, but it loks like a few were ss that year (at least for the Laser). Here is a site where you can enter in the year, model, then make and it will list the colors and show them as cc or not:

Thanks!

It lists sophia white and brilliant white, with brilliant white being the CC. Hard to say which one it is. I just thought of something..... I could take the paint code number to a paint shop and ask what type it is.

Either way, I think i should be safe with the products i plan on using, right?

Apply a little cleaner wax to a small area and see if you get color off and your question is answered.

Is CC for sure, had a 91 Laser turbo and just sold it

Mine had zippy CC on it when I sold it tho. It's a Mitsu for all intents and purposes.

Yep, CC for sure. There are a few signs of CC failure, such as the RF fender, around the door handles, the CC is pealing, the hood has got some of those little CC cracks, you know the kind that makes your skin crawl and feel nasty....hehe. I used #80 on it today after wash, clay wash; much improved! I have never clayed an entire car before and that was amazing. I used about 3/4 of a clay magic bar, the other 1/4 was used on the glass.
