I am going to paint my car by myself but i got some questions.

What kind of paint to use? Ive seen Arcrylic, Enamel, and Latex.

I am confused, they are all used on autos, but which is the best, and why?

And any advice on how to paint or anything?

Yes i am using a airbrush, and i am getting my paint from house of kolor. Any advice on how many coats and how many clear coats?

if you want black and you are doing a basecoat /clear coat i suggest 2 coats ppg basecoat black the deltron series, with concept urathane clear atleast 3 coats incase you get runs then you can sand them out with worry, i would suggest resanding the car down to metal and priming with2 coats ppg self etch primer to help prevent rust and dependign on what you sanded the car down with , if you have noticeable scratches shoot some ppg k36 primer surfacer- 2 coats and either dry sand with 320 on a da or wet sand with 500 grit then move on the the color and clear , if you have no scraches very deep after self etch just spray with ppg k36 primer sealer and then move on to color and clear, that problyl hard to understand but if you need help just let me know i can get all exact part numbers and amounts needed if you would like, , i say ppg cause i work with it almost every day and no problems , just let me know
