Hi,
I've just found this blog entry about Pesce's Project for Italian make Cassina.

I was wondering what kind of painting is he using?

Looks like a clear-cast resin, tinted.

I agree with Rockland
Pesce uses a resin (most likely simple polyester resin)that is coloured, it is not a paint and contrary to the claims in the presentation it is not a very advanced technology. It had been around for at least 50 years...
It is close to the artisanal technologies that he has always used. Mixing polyurethane, polyvinyl, etc. It suits his interest in small runs that are always producing substantial enough differences in each product to caal the pieces unique.
