I thought basecoat/clearcoat was introduced in the late 70's, and that some car manufacturers began producing cars with basecoat/clearcoat as eatly as 1980. Is this correct?

Re: Basecoat/clearcoat history?
Hi Frank,
Getting hard data of what happend and when on the assembly lines in the world is kind of hard now that it's been over 20 years... here's a couple of things though...
This is a 1982 Corvette with the original clear coat finish still intact. So we know for sure GM was spraying clear coat finishes on Corvettes in 1982
April's Corvette. April is also known as "The Vette Lady"
Before
Here's a model of her car
What's unique about this car is that it still has the original factory clear coat paint, we're talking 1982! This clear coat finish is 23 years old...
After
