Default What are the best paints?

I need to get my car repainted and I am wondering what paint companies are the best. Many that I have gotten quotes from are Dupont and Glasurit. Are these any good, if so which is better? Are there other ones that are much better?

Glasurit is what BMW uses

sikkens is what Mercedes uses

depending on whatever is used on your car originally, i would stick with it to have the best matching possible

paint is only as good as the painter that paints it, while quality paint is important, spend more time finding a reputable paintshop is a much better route.
