Default What kind of paint should i use? I NEED HELP!

hey im getting ready to paint my 95 240se im just wondering what kind of paint should i spray with!? there is many type's of paints... acrylic,enamal,urithane,laquer wich is better....????

im looking to do either a gun metal or a gloss black maybe... or some sort of green.. idk yet

as well as how many coats of each should i do such as----

1coat primer
1coat color
1coat clear?

i just want something i can afford but that turns out good and lasts a while... i have someone paining the car for me...

also i would like to know what kind of products should i look for? i found a site that sells a kit for diff prices depending on which type of paint you use it varys in price
here is the link
Trinity 1945 - Automotive Paint, Auto Paint, Car Paint Suppliers

i know that duplicolor stuff has nice results but it goes on kinda funky depending on what color you use.. white is the best ive seen on yet from them black comes out shitty...



im very new to painting cars i really apricate the help! i will post pic's of it when im done...
