It is absolutely a topcoat and clearcoat. Anyone not referencing the 2002 Porsche 'Paint Manual - All Types' is not applying the correct finish.

Not that but as Carl mentions, "cars came with the ion vapor deposit technology wheels"

and my take on it "its vacuum electro thingymebob attached particals of real metal, not painted"

That's interesting! And Carl seems like has anice info. I work with Glasurit, but I wouldlove to get the detailed info and see if I can paint a rim (random one) just to see if I cant "match" the finish.
