Hi Dave,
Check out Autoclor primer and Sikkens 2 part urethane for the topcoat. This
is what we use for sailplane refinish and it is some amazing stuff. It's very
easy to work with, offers excellent UV protection, buffs to a mirror shine and
is very easily repaired should you ever get scratches and scrapes. It is a bit
pricey, though. Contact me off list and I can put you in touch with our
refinish guru if you're interested.
Regards,
