what is the best paint

thanks to all for the advice and knowledge on paint and paint products. I need all the help I can get. This is my first total restoration. My 16 year old son is really excited to help and learn so I really want to teach him the correct way to do things. Actually I think he just wants to get through so he can go cruise Main Street in a really hot 65 barracuda. Come to think of it maybe thats what I want to do.
Thanks again
Tommy
