BASF/Glasurit sounds a great option. I've always found the choice difficult between 'perfection' and 'rough and ready.' One I'm scared to take out; the other, not quite a worthy target. A relative used to paint his vans and trucks with Dulux and a big paint brush. It looked good from 10 metres and was cheap to fix.

The Glasurit system is fantastic. If you don't have the colour code from your door-jam sticker you just take a representative sample with their spectrophotometer/spectrometer and it makes up the mix for you immediately in the volume you need. Into your gun of choice & get on with the job.

It's what all the premium car builders in Europe use today. From the German big 3 to the Italian Exotics like Pagani & Ferrari. The nano ceramic clear coat is as tough as all hell. Hard to get to places were done for hours by hand with very fine compound & cotton wool.

For those across the pond. PPG makes a similar system today. Glasurit were the pioneers and still hold an edge over PPG. That is in the, what PPG call CeramiClear department.

The Glasurit nano ceramic clear coat is superior.
