What is the best quality car paint brand?

PPG, Dupont, and 3M. Out of the three I would go with PPG, largest OEM supplier to automobile manufacturers.





Edit: Rollo makes a good point. The Dupont is great but probably the most expensive. If money was no object and I wanted the best, then Dupont it is. But for overall general good paint with great value, the it would be PPG.What is the best quality car paint brand?
In terms of actual quality looking at factors of paint stability, colour fade, and lack of paint distortion, then there is only one: DuPont Standox.





DuPont Standox and the equivalent Spies Hecker refinishing products, are the only products approved by Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, the Volkswagen Group who own VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat, BMW and Honda.


GM and Ford tend to source PPG paints because they're cheaper, but with a reduction in cost also comes a reduction in quality.





The best paint in the world used to be made by ICI Dulux but their range of lead naphthenate paints were effectively banned by EU directives and hence the majority of worldwide sales by about 1992.
