Al's right about the "prep" work, which is a make-or-break item. Other
than that, there is an "epoxy" paint additive (that Honda uses in its Acura
line) that runs about $200/gal (you only need about a quart I believe) that
increases the durability and shine of ordinary paint several fold. Always
ask if the paint shop is using such an additive.
