The body shop painted mine with the same DuPont they sprayed the rest of the car with.

Check Pelican Parts they use to have Wirth (sp) paint and clear coat, in rattle cans. Have you checked into powder coating? I did mine that way and am very happy with the results, i.e. Break dust cleans off with a hose,sirface is harder than paint ,no stone chips. If you want i can send you pictures of mine.

the wurth stuff recently has been "wurthless" in that is did not spray correctly and caused a big mess. We have had to use the winzer wheel paint instead. Works perfectly and you get more for your money.
