<VV> Nnot only paint colors, what is the best type of paint to use?

[Cepak, Tom A]

After my wife reciently saw several very nicely painted Corvairs, she is
now suggesting I have my EM convert painted.  I would paint it myself,
but unfortunatly, the neighborhood we moved to has VERY restraining deed
restrictions.  I know from experience that my NEIGHBORS will, without
blinking an eyelid, turn me into the homeowners association or the city
if I even thought about painting my Corvair inside my garage (they
turned me in for doing a tune-up in my driveway).  

Since I plan on keeping this Corvair for a long while, how do I
determine the best type of paint to be used?
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to even pick the right paint and
body shop?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

When I was looking at colors to paint my LM Corvairs, I was amazed to
find that a LM Corvair looks great in light colors and dark colors,
bright colors and subdued colors. The only "bad" color I have seen is
beige with primer spots (sorry Ned). Before the EM guys get in an uproar
I have never had to pick a color for an EM so the pattern may hold there
also.  It says a lot for the design of the Corvair.
