Sikkens is made in Holland I think? Has a good reputation here too. I used 
PPG Delton, easy to use too and fairly espensive. My primer comes from SP 
Systems, they make the Ampreg resin Europa UK supply. BTW I am not an 
expert painter.
I suspect that the quality of the finish is very dependant on the skill of 
the guy behind the spray gun. Your best plan might well be to go with your 
sailplane guru, there's no substitute for experience.
