Did you call the PPG main switchboard number or did you speak to a shop that sells it? Arguably PPG are the biggest and best.
Protec also sell what you are after, however here's a tip... PPG owns them too

There is a small paint distributor that sells AWL Grip, which is two pack paint suitable for planes.

ummmm...how to stay out of the courts...........
based on PERSONAL experience stay away from Protec.
As an industry professional, I can no longer reccomend them as I have in the past.

Sunny you're melbourne based yer?
If so have a chat to Lisa from Bodyshop Paint Supplies in Bayswater. She REALLY knows her products and could probably give you a worth listening to point in the right direction.
metalman2 here on this forum would also be a good source

I use AWL Grip on my Yacht and it stands up to Salt Water really well, probably the harshest environment for paint is the sea.
It is also on my T 28 and is now 5 years old some stone chips but otherwise in good shape.

The Dupont Imron "Aviation" are also good paints. I have used both the 5000 & 6000 series. The 5000 series is really easy to use and you get a beautiful finish, particularly if you go 'clear over base', but starts to fade after 3 years if your aircraft is left outside, however unlike some 2 packs it will buff.
The 6000 is tough as nails but pretty tricky to apply if you don't know what your are doing. I think they might have updated these in the last few years. Here is the list of suppliers:
