Default Was Guards Red on 968 still single stage paint?

Hi,
I know that on older Porsches, Guards Red called also Indischrot was single stage paint without a clear coat. Is it still true for the 968?

My '92 GR car is original paint and is not cleared. The proof of this is that every time I wax it, it turns the buffing pad red.

Yes, I believe so. My own gaurds red S/CS is factory original in good condition but only 1-2 microns thick (when compared to my 964 3 times that). There is on the odd panel shut-line corner the tiniest of primer showing through from previous machine compound/polishing. Hardly noticeable, unless your looking for it, but I know when I come to machine polishing I need to be mindful there's not much paint on it!
