Paint

hiya folks
I was the unfortunate recipient of a paint mod. I have always liked most modern art, but sadly this wasn't the look I was going for when it comes to my G.
I will be getting a paint job, but I was wondering if the paint from the factory was like a base/clear coat or some thing else?

It's a base coat/clear coat, and there's a few years that they used a self-healing clear coat.

I think it will tell you under the hood if I remember correctly. The '08 probably has the self healing, but you can check to make sure. If you're getting it repainted, does it really matter if single stage or 2 stage originally (not that I know of any cars in the past 20 years that have single stage paint)? You'll want to get it done with 2 stage anyway.
