Man you're gonna get a million answers for that vague of a question. You have to look at things like how much you want to spend, what kind of finish you expect, are you gonna sand and polish, what color, what is your experience spraying (use friendly paint or something a paint shop would use), how good is the prep work. There are as many paints out there as there are questions about paint, so homework is the only real way you will decide. I personally am fond of U-tech for single stage solid colors, it's a good polyurethane paint for a decent price and is very user friendly. For metallics and base/clears, I use RM Diamont and Dupont Chromabase. These are fairly expensive but produce excellent finishes and durability. Your best bet would be to talk to your paint store and ask alot of questions and let them point you in the right direction. Good luck.
