On my '23 I used Nasons etch primer, 2K primer, and then their top coat with hardener.
The durability is fine, and it retains it's gloss and color very well. Same goes for the engine and transmission, just use the same system. I do think it is important to stay with one brand of products all the way through, and use a system you are comfortable spraying. Even the Nason's I am using is not considered top of the line, like some pro's might want to shoot, but I get ok results with it and am happy with the price and quality. And whatever system you get, follow their ratio instructions closely.
