with a car your not using as your daily driver it makes no difference if it's B/C or S/S !
will it be seeing the same weather as your daily driver ?
so S/S will be just fine to paint the car in and the proper finish .
as for care this to makes no difference there isn't any difference with that also you wash and wax the car in the same way .

if you were looking to use the same equal product as your old 1969 Porsche you would use BASF's limco supreme plus S/S paint
because your thinking of B/c for a coating keeping the finish close to what was used by Porsche back then is not a concern with you .
so you could go with BASF's S/S glasurit 22 line .
if you wanted to do B/C then you could use there 55 line or 90 line water borne system .

any coating S/S or B/C will only last 8 to 10 years for a daily driven car . they both will fail but only in different ways so in reality the two types of coating really makes no difference in how long a finish will last or your care of the coats .

the problem is not longevity the problem comes into play when and if you have to do a repair and repaint to a car that is in single stage . not many shops even know how to paint S/S products . so to blend out a color they have to do it in B/C simply because they DON'T know how to do it in S/S . then once this is done your finish will not have the same look to at as a S/S 69 finish should .
