Either my engine bay is flat (no clear), or REALLY faded!
Roy, I'll show you next time I see you - I won’t be at Biff's this Friday though, going to a concert.

As for the Alabaster,

Here are references to Alabaster having a clearcoat:

From Chrysler (go to their site and build a 2006 model with alabaster clearcoat):

If that isn't proof enough, ask Andrew...he just had his re-painted not long ago. He will likely know whether it has clear or not.

I know they still do some single stage, but the fact that it is not a metallic color doesn't have anything to do with whether or not it has clear (as someone alluded to earlier). Most auto manufacturers are using base/clear these days, some even with tri-coats with base/pearl coat/clear.
