All paint companies are good. Even if you use some automotive paint, if done correctly it will turn out good.
Awlgrip is top for that deep finish, but if in need of a repair, it makes the people doing it cry in pain. It is a handful. Probably Awlgrip needs to thank Perini which had that deep blue in the nineties and made everything look less deep. They have the Awlcraft paint which is a normal hardner spray mix to compete with the rest. Used a lot locally here for gelcoat repairs.
AlexSeal is the one who has taken over the US market. It has top reviews in the USA, and many custom sportfish builders using it, including the production king ie, Viking.
Imron was the one used by Hatteras in the eighties/nineties (not sure if they still use it), the ivory creamish boats with IMRON are still the same and shine even with the least of polish.
Stoppani got a good name for its epoxy paste in the nineties, as I said all paint companyies produce a good mix.
Probably for easy application the AlexSeal tip and roll really gets a high score.
