I've used Dupont EUROTEC
I've also used Dupont Tecstar. This is normally used for industrial things (cabinets, cabinets, heavy machinery). Did a few frames (cars) to test it out. It holds up really well and it has a very high resistance to chipping.
I've used Deltron a bit. We've used it in the shop before since it is very easy to match the OE paint. A lot of shops use it for that reason alone which makes it great. I've heard of some guys in other shops who were trying to make it pop and were not happy with the low gloss (just using a basecoat no clear) and would try to overwet the paint to get more gloss out of it
Not sure why since it is not engineered to work that way.
I'm out of the auto painting business but I'm looking at getting into airbrushing. Will be working Createx paint.
