Paint and primer?

As a few of you know I bought a 67 Formula S basket caselast Dec.I am getting ready to start on it in 2-3 weeks.I am hoping to have it in paint by November 2011.My question is what kind of primer and paint do you Guys recommend.I will probably use PPG base coat clear coat.I want to use good materials not junk.I believe you get what you pay for and I want the paint to last.I have a Uncle who has painted cars for the last 30 years so I will see what he has to say also.
The car was originally silver.I am thinking silver,black,dark blue metallic,or turquoise metallic.What do you Guys think?

Thanks Guys
