Jim Tervort, who took over C-car support for a while in the late 1980s and early 1990s, told me that the factory used catalyzed acrylic enamel. He claimed that it provided good UV protection, and that aftermarket paints might not protect as well. All that said, if you're in the market for a used C-car, it's probably best to look for one which has been garaged as much as possible.
