Allllright. Paint is stripped and I am ready to start painting. Again, I am doing this Fuji Special Road Racer on the cheap. I have ready about every post I can find about paints. I think things like Ditzler's and other spray gun paints are our of my price range and am looking for some rattle can advice (Gasp!).

I have only been able to track down someone recommending the following: Duplicolor and Rustoleum. I would rather get something from an auto store and the one guy in my area that can custom mix requires me to order 10 cans which is way too much $$. I also would like to make sure the primer and top coat are from the same manufacturer. So.....

Any recommendations on a rattle can metal prep for steel?
Should I put down a white or black base coat?
Any recommendation on a rattle can primer, top and clear coat?

Or do I just go to the automotive store and buy what they have on the shelf.
