Aircraft are painted with Polyurethane which is single stage. Not sure if they still use Imron or not, but that was one durable paint that hid well. It wasn't a nice looking paint because it had no depth or real high gloss to it, which is why it wasn't used on cars. There was an Imron base clear system, but wasn't used on commercial aircraft because of the weight penalty.
