I've painted a few of my motorcycles with Dupont ChromaBase (96 Mustang purple on my FZR600 ;-) ), and been very happy with the results. Easy to spray, clearcoat looks very deep. I'm not sure now, but a few years ago they were changing the chemicals in the activators to be more environmentally friendly and less volatile, and you could get two different versions of the stuff, the more environmentally friendly being harder to spray. I expect that maybe the enviro-friendly stuff is the only thing you can get now..
I have also heard good things about PPG.
