Could be that yours without clear was part of a batch of Fire Orange, so went through the normal line and got Robot applied clear. If its just 1 car going through they generally dont use the regular line as the paint wasted a large for 1 vehicle this way.

Don't know how I didn't ever comment here, as I was with JcLusso when this epiphany evolved, I believe, partially due to my car.
Full individual, Le Mans Blue. Not only is my underhood not clearcoated, but my entire engine bay including underhood is black, not LMB. I feel highly gipped.

Thanks, I was really curious why the cars were different. Makes me wish (a little) that I had ordered San Marino! :

It also seems M4 in Ferrari Red are clear coated while on the M3's they are not. We need to find a couple more Fire Orange M3 and M4 to check

For what it's worth I have Frozen Black individual paint and my engine bay is the same colour as the rest of the body.

This F83 M4 Convertible is also not cleared.
The F83 is also built in Regensburg with the F80 Makes me think Regensburg gets enough demand for Fire Orange to go through the regular line. If the F82 M4 Coupe is indeed cleared it mean Munich is not getting enough demand for Fire Orange M4's to go through its regular line.

Well now, this F82 M4 is not cleared under the hood
Seems we are going to have to see proof of one that is cleared in Fire Orange. I have not found any pictures of one

Is the M4 (coupe) now available in Fire again? Iirc it wasn't for a couple of years because the paint facilities there couldn't cope with the multiple stage process for fire orange (5 stages I've heard??) I also thought M3 was Munich not Regensburg and M4 was Regensburg? Could be entirely wrong on that though. |

Fire Orange has a 2 stage base. So its Primer, Base 1, Base 2, Clear Regular cars are Primer, Base 1, Clear The basic formula for Fire Orange is Primer (Silver), Base 1(white+black mixed), Base2 (Orange+Yellow+White+Black mixed) M3 is Regensburg M4 Convertible is Regensburg M4 Coupe is Munich
