Back in the day when I was painting motorcycles and vans it would depend on what the finish would be, usually very wild with flames or over-spray on lace. Nitrocellulose Lacquer would be the first choice but sadly it is no longer around. The last several jobs I did was using Dupont's Imron and it was never sanded. Probably the hardest was my buddy Steve's 1966 Corvette that he had widened all 4 fenders and added side pipes for the 540 HP engine. We sprayed 25 coats of House of Color Gold and the 25 coats of clear. Sanding was done every other day as the garage he had built was kept at 80 degrees around the clock. Just before he got out of the US Navy he drove it to a huge car show in Albany NY, won sports car, Amaerican Car and People's choice. Sold it just before he moved to Rio Brazil!


If it were me now days I would find a custom paint and see what they say.
