How many layers of clear coat does a BMW have?

Attah Peter  Follow

Only one, at least for the last 20 years, a single layer of clear coat is applied over a water based base coat. For a while BMW used a powder clear at some it’s plants. Now a 2k clear coat is used. Sometimes for show cars a double layer of clear coat is applied this is then flattened and then polished to give a piano finish.
