I would use Acrylic Urethane, its thicker and old school, you dont need Base/Clear if youre not going metallic.

Re: trying to paint civic
you wouidlnt classify enamel paint as shitty though right?
urethane will hold up alot better, also if your going to clear coat it after the urethane will be much friendlier
with paint like most things you get what you pay for , with most paint lines like sherwin williams, dupont, martin senior
they have a cheaper line and a better line of paint
