Hi bud, standox, deltron, sikkens, ici, the list goes on! It all comes down to cost! To do this kind of job you'll probably need 10 liters of clolour if not more and 5 liters poss more of hardener!
Is the car being painted proffesionally??
I have used all brands of paint over the years all to varying degree's of satisfaction!
I have been using Lesonal 2k high solid (HS) recently and its been pretty good to me!! Its about £25 a liter!
2K is the best all round paint to use! But wear a good charcoal mask............... always!!!
Also when spraying white put it on carefully watching where you overlap........ white has a tendency to run very quickly when you least expecting it lol

if you afraid of runs mix it properly using a proper measuring stick and put in around 10% thinners and use some rocket thats an extra accelerator use also winter accelerator even in summer

Just looking to see what is the best, looks like I'm using Standox underneath and Deltron on the outside for a lush finish!

I wouldn't mix paint brands. You stand a chance of a reaction or mismatch. I'd go with the same company products throughout unless you have a damn good reason not to. Standox is pretty much top class stuff. Deltron is a PPG product isn't it? Good stuff too. I don't think you'd go wrong with either. If you are having it done professionally I'd go with what ever the painter is used to really, go with his recommend for your best result.
