Not that I'm aware of and it wouldn't be practical.
Car manufactures change paint systems as new technology is introduced. Cars get wrecked and get repainted, some/most people can't tell if the paint on the car they're working on is factory or repaint.
The best way to know if a paint is hard or soft or better terms are workable or polishable, is to get a lot of experience working on a lot of cars.
