From PPG's website
"PPG's Deltron Basecoat line offers a choice of two systems to meet the stringent demands for quality, color match and productivity of collision refinish professionals:
DELTRON 2000 DBC basecoat
Deltron 2000 DBC is PPG's 2nd generation basecoat resin technology developed especially to deliver exacting color matches on the more sophisticated metallic finishes now offered on today's luxury import and domestic vehicles. Metallic control with DBC is superb so it sprays smooth and dries to a thin film build with minimal shrinkage and no orange peel. A wide range of clear coat choices are available in order to deliver a luxurious deep gloss under a variety of operational conditions.
DBU Universal basecoat
When Deltron DBU basecoat was introduced in North America in 1984 the system set the standard for quality, color match and ease of use. Soon it became the world's number one best-selling basecoat.
DBU's pigmentation is especially formulated to provide superior colormatch on domestic vehicle solid color and metallic finishes. As a catalyzed basecoat, DBU offers excellent repairability. By offering a wide choice of clearcoats the DBU system is compatible for use in a variety of working environments - from small shops with air-dry paint operations to high-volume production shops with downdraft baking booths."
PPG also makes a lower cost OMNI system, but you get what you pay for when buying paint. If you were going to sell the car for example, cheaper might be the way to go.
The pic below is DBU base/clear. As far as ease of spraying or durability, there is no difference between the two systems. Some of the newer colors used by some manufacturers can only be mixed with the newer system.
