I had read that Bentley, Aston Martin and Maserati are among the best in terms of gloss and no orange peel at all!

Bentleys have OP, too. The only Maserati I know is a 70's model and has no OP, but probably not clear coated. I haven't seen a Aston Martin in years,
The Rolls Royce that I'm familiar with has no OP.

I like the paint jobs on the '05 Mazdas, but I'm biased. I think they're great without going really high end.

I wish I had a scanner because there is a picture in the Maserati Quattroporte brochure, one of the very first pages, a picture of the C pillar, with worse OP than our Honda minivan! I was very surprised. It just popped out.

Anything from Europe; Italy and Germany especially, not so much Britian. Nothing compares to the paint on Audi's and VW's for regular everyday cars - look at the silver or white used on german cars and then on GM/Ford/Honda and the difference is undoubtedly clear. Funny this come up cause me and a few buddies were arguing about this at the bar Thurs. night after we were prepping a car for the import show next weekend.

I have a mazda3 orange and the paint look really deep, especially for a low end car. With a good wax job it almost look like a pool  .
The durability is an other thing though. you have to watch yourself, especially under the trunk. I scratched my paint to the plastic with a cardboard box.
But of course, there is better paint if you look to some very high end car mention before.
