What are some good brands of automotive paint and clearcoat?

I am painting my car and i was wondering what brands of paint would be the best to use. Also, could you explain the difference in the different kinds of paints (acrylic, enamel, ect...)What are some good brands of automotive paint and clearcoat?
Many acrylics and most enamels are single stage ---- That's old technology -- Avoid that stuff....





Best???? The best isn't actually the best ?? Huh? ---- The above poster suggested House Of Color ---- Sure that stuff gives a show car finish but is an absolute pain in the rear end to use --- If you are not a Professional then avoid that stuff at all costs......





Base coat / clear coat is just like it says --- You put down a color coat -- then apply a clear coat --- You want 2 stage -- NO 3 stage pearlescent stuff unless you are a painter with year's of experience - that stuff is a pain in the butt also....





Use PPG 2 stage base coat clear coat....
