The Best Paint Job

I would say the lexus has the best factory paint job for a moderate price cars. From the is300 to their top of the line.

Based upon? Opinion? Study? What paint does Lexus use? DuPont, PPG, Sikkens, BASF, other?

Saleen custom factory paint option... $17,000 exterior option. IMO, no paint job is worth 17K, but if you'd see it in person, it definitely makes a statement

Based on depth, clarity, consistancy, and overall quality - Harley Davidson does the best "Factory" mass production paint IMO. Yes - I know they're motorcycles.

Based on observation. Without using high quality wax on this car they really do shine and have deep colors.
