Default Paint systems, whats suitable for home use?

I have some panels Id like to spray at home. I have a compressor and a decent gun but I'm a little out of the loop on paint systems.

Cellulose is old and not terribly compatible with anything newer but room temp cures and leaves a decent finish from the gun.

What is Acrylic such as one gets in rattle cans?

2k - used that before, again room temp cure but getting hard to get hold of, obvious safety concerns, especially as I live in a residential area now

1k - no experience but seems safer? gather however it needs a 2k laquer over the top, which sort of defeats the point?

Water based - I believe you need an oven to cure these?

So whats available I can spray at home, at room temp, without killing my neighbours dog?

Cheers!
