Yup Imron. First thing that comes to mind, an industry standard.

Just to be contrary, Delfleet Essential by PPG is much more user friendly and much less prone to chipping and cheaper than Imron. I have used it on many vehicles with excellent results.. My bus was painted with it over 10 years ago and it still looks like new. I am recommending only the single stage non metallic colors as that is what I've used.

What do these polyurethane single stage fleet paints have over something like an Eastwood single stage urethane paint? That is like 1/4 of the price of delfleet or the imron.

In contrast to Imron, PPG's Delfleet Essential is easier to work with, less likely to chip, and cheaper. I have successfully used it on a wide variety of automobiles.
