Yes it does. They haven't made cars w/o a clearcoat since they stopped using enamel paints back in the 70's.

If the process is the same as the earlier RLs, than it has 5 coats base and 4 coats clear. However, the painting process and quality on Honda/Acura seemed to have come down lately and I don't know when they started doing that.
