Best is to look for a place that uses top name brand products.
Spies Hecker(Dupont), Standox (Dupont) and Glasurit (BASF) as OEM BMW paint suppliers.


What may be a little more resilient than the UV dried paint is the old solvent based paints ( as opposed to the new water based paint).
But I dont know if they may still sell it in Europe.

Thanks! I've also just been told to go for powder coating if possilbe as this is better than both UV / Infra Red curing which use wet paints as opposed to the 200 degree backing process for powder....?
