Here's another vote for JetFlex. I used fog-grey, water soluble. It went on easily after thinning with water, easy to clean up and it seems pretty durable, but is easy to touch in. It was expensive to buy here in England - may be that won't be an issue. Here's a photo so you have some idea how it looks.

I looked at that JetFlex stuff, but there are two reasons why it may not be the most practical choice - cost and availability. I don't beleive there's a local supplier of that paint in my city (Ottawa Canada), so I'd have to drive to Montreal to get it or have it shipped. Also, I'm not sure if the inside of our RVs really require the same quality of paint that is used for the interior of arliners that are subject to all kinds of passenger-abuse on a daily basis.

I agree with you. SW automotive paint distributers could likely order it for you. In my case I'm finishing less than 10 square feet of interior surface. everything else is covered with CAD's interior panels or seats. Van's wash primer only back of the baggage panel.

I'm probably going with some old Imron I aready have for the interior.... but I did contact Alliance Coatings in CA about the JefFlex.
Compared to other aircraft paints it's quite reasonable in $$$ -- at least in the US....
A gallon ready to use of the H2O based stuff is in the under $90 range - with an additional mixing fee for a color match if you don't like their standard colors.

By comparison, a fresh pint of Imron hardener was $63, and a qt. of fast accelerator (smallest size available) is around $173 at the local DuPont dealer

just to update everyone, sherwin williams no longer sends color samples/wheels as their site implies, you have to order them from the dealer nearest you
I am going with the Jetflex water reducible for my RV-9A, but haven't tried it yet.
I did some research on color matching to the Van's powder coat light grey. The Cardinal powder coat color T009-GR230 references RAL 7035 an international color code. This is matched by the following Jetflex satin codes:
Solvent based: Jetflex L09511
Water based: Jetflex P09511
