When I lived in the U.S., my preferred paint was Dupli-Color automotive spray. There're so many metallic colors to choose from, paint is strong, applies smoothly and dries fast. The only drawback was that one can is too big for one car, and because of unique color, I don't feel like to make a different model of the same color.
Also, solid color, such as black, is very hard, which is ideal for polishing. It creates deep wet mirror-like surface without clear overcoat.

I found that the ones i used here were very hard to use due to there paint flow which is very fast in paint volume and can cause plenty of runs in the paint. I guess with a bit of practice you could get some good looking kits

Make sure you try the paint first on some sprue of the same kit. Sometimes there's a reaction between the paint and the plastic, and yes the use of primer is advisable for the same reason.
Good luck man!
