Burgundy Pearl... 3-stage or 2-stage?

1995 bordeaux pearl paint... is it 3-stage base, pearl, clear, or just 2-stage b/c?
Anyone know this one?

From Section 5 of the FSM the "Mica finish, Black and Dark Red" appear to be applied over the Electroplated paint, then Intermediate paint w/pigment, the Color base with aluminum pigment, then the Clear. This from the 92 FSM and colors.

Glenn

Additionally, Pearl White, referred to as "Mica finish, white color" has base Electroplated, then Intermed with pigment, color case, mica base with colored mica, then clear. Again a 92 color, but it appears the "pearls" are very complex.

refers to the Bordeaux Pearl (Code 487) as a 2-stage paint combination; a basecoat with color and pearl together, followed by a clearcoat.
