At least in America you can still source many types of paint. Up here in Canada supplies are not good. Also it is hard to ship paints in from America. Yet I can still buy them there when visiting and get them through the border.
I think a good single stage paint looks appropriate on an older Mercedes. Base clear does not seem quite right. I have seen a lot of bad aftermarket clear coats as well. Most probably where application problems. Yet some seem too soft as well. I am not certain if that is application or bad product.
I do not know a lot about painting. Except farming out a decent paint job is very expensive up here in my area of Canada. Part of the reason is the supplies are far more expensive.
