Testing for CARC

[7mmTCU]

Searched around a bit after seeing a post about ID'ing whether you have CARC or not paint on a truck. Did not see the relavent post.

The reference stated was something abreviated like nail polish remover and a rag....

Is there a quick/easy way to determine if the truck is painted with CARC?

I don't have any markings or stenciling that would indicate one way or the other.

Thanks

No objections you paint your truck in CARC. Remenber, it is epoxide, do not grind it down without heavy breathing proitection. Do not wacs the clothes used together with other clothes. Avoid breating of any kind of dust of that kind of colour while working with it.
Sooner or later this CARC will do a big lot of damage to your lungs and your body without the neccessary precautions!

If you've ever seen one with CARC and one without, the difference is obvious. CARC has very rough texture compared to non-CARC paint. If you can post a good pic of the truck I may can tell you just from the pics. Also, alot of the CARC painted trucks had "CARC" stenciled somewhere on the truck.

Not sure if these pictures are good enough. I could not find any stencil that related to the paint.
