If you find it, patent it quickly! ;-) People who want a more durable finish generally go with a polyurethane paint. There are 1-part and 2-part polyurethanes, 2-part being much harder but also more toxic to work with.

2-part polyurethane clearcoat might work, but I don't think it has UV inhibitors in it. Has anyone gone this route?

Also, I once re-finished a VW Baja Bug using a 2-part epoxy primer. It's available in a variety of colors, including white. Has anyone tried this?
