Tough paint

This spring ill be getting around to finally painting my 92 Bronco, I dont rock crawl but I do end up off road and in the woods a lot from hunting and fishing. I also get lots of snow in my area and my bronco is not garaged most of the time. Basically what im getting at is what paint brand is the most durable??? Or would any the top brands be a good choice, and maybe I should just put some extra clear coat on?... My last job i did I used cheap PPG shop line, but from what i hear it "fades" easily (only time will tell I guess) which is fine I just painted a quarter on my commuter car. But I want the bronc to last and not fade and be durable. Any reccomendations?? Ive only used ppg in the past which i have been happy with so far...

And no im not rhino-lining the outisde

I like House Of Kolor stuff. It's inexpensive and extremely durable compared to PPG and DuPont stuff I've used. It's tough to clean out of the gun (the clear, that is) and one painter I know calls it "spray glue", but as tough as it is to get out of the gun, is about how durable it is. Try AutoBodyDepot - Buy Warehouse Direct at Wholesale Pricing for mail ordering. I get mine from there and they've always treated me well.

I've heard a lot of good stuff re: House of Color as well. Just make sure to study the directions and talk to those who have sprayed it - it's a bit different than PPG and DuPont.
