I have dealt with white, grey, black, blue, silver and red on subarus. Stay away from blue, red and black if u r concerned with swirl mark and so on. The clear is very soft and paint imperfections shown up easily.

However, u can have a layer of ceramic/nano/diamond coating (silicon diozide), its a add on sacrificial clear coat. Carpro and ctech have been making them for a long time.

If u know u r gonna be careful with ur paint, ie stay away from bore water and avoid driving under bright sunlight with water on the paint (quenching effect). Use minimal amount of car wash. It will make paint protection last much longer.
