If you are planning on painting your car, then i would personally use 2 pack paint, base and then clear, its a lot more forgiving for a diy job, celu paint shrinks back so it needs loads of coats for it to look pro.
Alternatively if this is your first attempt, you could save yourself £££ by prepping the car yourself, and then giving it to a pro to paint, this is what i usually do.

Does not really matter what paint is on the car, i am assuming you are planning on spraying the whole car with filler primer once the existing paintwork has been keyed with sandpaper..
