Default Automotive paint and primer

I'm looking to get some paint and primer for a project I'm working on and was wondering where to go to get some. All I've found was the spray paint kind and would like to have some I can put in a spray gun and or airbrush.

^ sheesh! Go to NAPA and tell them what color your after and how much you need. They will mix it for you and hand you the can. Martin Senior is their paint line I believe and despite what people may say it IS a decent paint. However you will also need the clear coat as well and hardener and thinner. Go to NAPA and talk to their paint rep. The one here in Dade City has an awsome paint rep but hear other stores aren't so fortunate. You could also buy from a body shop. They usually will sell paint to customers.

Edit: As for the primer, I personally like the thick orange peel type that has to be sanded down signicantly to get it smooth. Fills in a lot of voids in the sheet metal.
