When I painted my 64 Galaxie Skylight Blue, I used acrylic enamel on all the interior surfaces, then masked off all the parts and put basecoat/clearcoat on all the exterior. Lots of masking and planning but it turned out great.

Use urethane single stage if it's a solid color, urethane base/clear if it's metallic. If you shoot it right it'll be slick enough and won't need wetsanding/buffing.
This is urethane straight out of the gun, no buffing.
