Who makes good paint?

Ive seen so many newer cars with horendous factory clear coat cancer that it scares me. I would use a single stage and just keep it covered and waxed. Ive seen 50 year old cars with factory paint still on them buff out and wax nicely. I think the clears today are made for the 20 year disposable cars that they are sprayed on, and some jobs dont even last that long. Good luck.

Park behind a Chevy truck sometime. The orange peel on the tail gate is so bad you can't see your headlight reflection! Newer clears made for production are like spraying super glue. Also when it comes to durability the uv protection is usually built into the catalyst for the clear not the clear itself. Most companies offer "glamor" clears that are made for high end look and usability but you will pay out the nose for it. I've also sprayed some low end clears that in my opinion responded better than the high end stuff... But being in the turn over world you rarely see the vehicle 5 years or more down the road.
