So guess what my graduation present is going to be? NEW PAINT!

Since my original paint is scratched, chipped and faded to death, Im getting a new paint job once I gather all my parts for my srt body swap. Im going to be going with my original PS2 or a similar silver, but I might throw in a little heavier metallic flake or maybe some pearl. My friend's dad paints cars for a well known body shop around here, but does side work in his shop at his house. So he is going to paint it, However, I told him that I would buy the paint.

Could anyone give me a link to a guide in what to buy or just give me a shopping list? I know we have some paint experts around here..
