DIY painting

like the title said im getting ready to get my honda rot fixed and i want to repaint that whole car. my dad has all of the necessary equipment to do it im just unsure about a few things.
what kind of paint would you recommend i get that i don't have to spend a fortune on but still get a good look.
thanks
