I've just recently tried my hand at painting and i went with ppg shopline. Price is good and i've had good results with it. From everything i've read really the only downfall is it takes at least another coat to get full coverage vs ppg's deltron and they use less pigments and more fillers for the color. Here's what i've done so far with it MMM shopline base and the shopline clear. When i do my body panels i may try out the spi clear.

PPG shop line is omni. There are two versions of the omni. Get the omni plus if you can. I just sprayed a whole car with the omni plus and their high solids clear. That **** is rock hard.
On the urethane parts don't use regular stripper. They make a stripper just for urethane parts. Regular stripper can make the urethane swell up and can release the stripper later on which will make your paint fall off.
Even using the urethane stripper you have to be careful. It will get the paint off but not the factory primer. If you leave it on long enough to get the primer off it will make the bumper swell up too. I just ran into this not to long ago.
