Your right, just about every paint manufacturer has a good premium line. I would guess that you are not working in a downdraft booth. You will want a high solids clearcoat so you can wetsand and buff with plenty of material on the car. You also need to conisder the temperature of your workspace. You may opt for a system with a quicker flash time. PPG, Dupont, Sikkens, Standox, Spies Hecker, Sherwin Williams, ect. all produce great products with different advantages. My favorites are PPG and Glasurit but because of my environment I find myself using more Dupont than anything. Axiom is right, I don't know of many shops that use Sherwin Williams. I did however, paint a 1970 Impala with customer supplied Sherwin Williams. I was really surprised with how the clear layed out and the gloss retention. That being said, I can't say SW is bad paint when I actually had good luck with it.
