Conventional Paint System
A conventional system is where a solid colour of hard paint or enamel is painted over a primer, and no clear coat or lacquer is used. At one time, most cars were painted this way, with the exception of metallic colours, but now most vehicles are painted with clear-over-base.
Commercial vehicles may still be painted with a conventional paint system.
