Two Stage Paint - Where to Start?

Been Around the Block
I'm going to dive into using two stage paints, with an actual sprayer and compressor set up. I've done research as far as time between coats, technique, etc. It all looks pretty straight forward.
But as far as purchasing primer, paint and clear coat, I have no idea where to start. I don't want to purchase top of the line paint, this isn't going to be a show bike, but I don't want garbage either.
I'm using an LVLP gun. Not sure if that matters or not. I'm looking to use straight color on this project. No pearl, or metal flake. Any help at all is appreciated.
 
I bought my two stage spray cans from 66autocolor.com, they sell paint and primers for spray guns too. They have some generic colors available and you can give them a paint code to have them mix up.
 
Do a search for an automotive paint supply shop in your area. Nothing beats a local service when you start out because they will help you with any questions you have or don't realize you had. Be honest with them and they will let you know what you need to know.
