[W126 Coupe] paint question

[Jay Hirsch]

In the early  "stage" of the  base coat/clear coat  there numerous  
problems of hazing, peeling, etc.
On all cars, domestic or "furein"
It seems  domestic paint companies solved the problem years earlier  
than the thick-headed-engineers at MB.

clear coating is not a new thing.   Up until the mid 1920s  all   
domestic cars were painted and then  "cleared" with  varnish.
