What is the best make to go for? Do I need etch primer or are there other types? (I know nothing about paint, or anything else for that matter) but I was aiming at the higher end of the quality scale, laquered finish?

Thanks again
you only need etch primmer if you have bare metal, most paint qualities are about the same and long as you have a good painter then you will get a good result, if you use a high build primmer first and it has a really good flat down to a very smooth finish then apply about 3 coats of paint and 4 or 5 coats of laquar, you can then 1200 wet n dry the whole car down and reallly well buff the car up to a very good show car finish hope this helps
