I'm no pro, but i have painted my car before. Never use newspaper, its too thin. HomeDepot carries those brown paper rolls near the paint cans, use those. And I guess use painter's tape. It won't stick like the cheap masking tapes.

the brown paper works great...its kinda like butcher paper. make sure you use the green masking tape, it doesn't leave as much residue. you going single color, two-tone, graphics ? hit me up with a PM and we can figure something out
