What is the Best Aircraft Paint

I'm so bored, I've started watching Russian mechanics videos on Youtube (but these guys are quite funny). But it got me thinking.....about paint.

Most of us would have been to hotrod/custom car shows, where these masterpieces have paint that looks like you could just dive right into.
If one was to take a blank cheque and tell an aircraft paint shop to paint your GA type aircraft, what is the best. Is there a type/brand of paint that is the best. I have searched on the internet and the only thing that I could find is a video on a Falcon jet that got a mega $ paint job with I think gold infused in the paint.

So what would you do for the ultimate GA paint job?

Do aircraft get clearcoat, metalic paint? It's a bit depressing to see the quality of the paint on a brand new $800,000 C182 or $1.5M Barron. It feels like 2 coats of cheapo paint hurridly sprayed on.

Who is the best paint shop in Australia?
