I'm quite sure that your IS300 has a clearcoat.

Not sure if this helps...I found this on a paint-related website:

"Not all cars have what is traditionally referred to as a “clear coat," however, all cars do have some sort of enamel to protect them from oxidizing and fading. That said, a small percentage have this enamel mixed right into the pigmented paint. This is called single stage paint. Paint with a clear coat (or the enamel on top of the pigmented paint) is called two stage paint. 95% of the automobiles sold in North America today have two stage paint, which means almost all cars being manufactured right now come from the factory with a clear coat."

The Blackberry Pearl paint certainly is clear coated. 99% of new car paints are clear coated. A few black or white European cars have one stage paints today. It's incredibly rare! If you own a Fit sport your wheels are clear coated as well!
