Whats the toughest paint that can be bought at reasonable price for a car to be painted in California? Im just going white and will be painting both interior and exterior. Im less worried about perfect paint job and more concerned about finish holding up, resisting chips etc. Likely will wrap car but still want something tough.

To minimize stone damage from the wheels glue some wet suit rubber material to the underside of the fenders. This will prevent those "stars" that show up if you use any kind of soft racing tires. For the front lid, headlights, fronts of GT fenders (if so equipped) there is no paint that will not chip. All it takes is following one other race car closely and you are sunk. So I would suggest a cheap spray can paint job and cover with vinyl wrap. You can buy 48 inch wide white, whole roll and do the car and redo when necessary.
