The most exotic paint I've come across to date is a two-stage Dupont Imron. I usually use an enamel for repairs. (enamel also comes in the pearl colours some european frame manufacturers use.) I restore steel lugged frames so dissimilar paints aren't an issue since I can sand down to bare metal between the lugs, use an etching primer, enamel colour coat and then the clear.

Imron is a single stage paint...2 stage would be basecoast clearcoat...sorry I own a body shop had to put my input in...and if imron 5.0 is the most exotic then you have been out of the loop forever :)
