As far as correct factory paint goes, i believe the used some type of thermoplastic paint... not compatible with modern paints btw.
I have a silver 79 and this was a 1 coat metalic. So no clear coat on top. Very poor quality if you ask me.
I will have the old paint formula converted to 2 coat system (base lack and clear coat).
As for the number of layers that is only important if you want to get it really slick... you sand with finer and finer grids in between layers, to get that deep gloss.
just my opinion.
