Kent; I have used PPG's true polyurethane clear on my classic car.Pretty tuff stuff it is.Very expensive and not too "user friendly". Most of the "industrial" stuff like epoxy and polyurethanes are not very easy to spray and dry real slow so runs and insects and dirt etc are a big issue. Also at issue here is the shine or surface texture you want. Most industrial coatings are for protection from harsh environmemts and therefore produce a really textured/orange-peel surface. Looks good from 50' but not too hot up close. They all use isocyanates in their catylists too. I knew from the beginning that I was going to wet-sand (1500 grit) my GTO after it cured in order to get it perfectly "show quallity" flat and so the issues of a true polyurethane didn't matter. Be-ware,it's the hardest sanding and buffing paint I have ever used!!! I use PPG DC 3000 clear on tractors.
