alright im throwing around the idea of using rattle cans but then i think i can get a better finish with my HVLP paint guns i got for my birthday =) which would turn out better.... I Also want to add I will be painting the car in parts because it will be easier to do it that way ........................ Oh and I want a deeper black primer what would be the best brand ?

i saw a couple of roll on paint jobs on cars at my school the best was a purple van that was was funny looking but the paint looked good lol =) but i don't think everyone would approve of roll on paint jobs plus using tremco lol but it is a thought =) may i ask the name of the guy who does good roll on paint jobs.... Ray? maybe
I'm no painter, but it would have to be a lot easyer to sand back a spray job when ready to do the finish coat. Good job so far, I've been following your progress.
I'd use the gun but wouldn't use "primer" as the weather will get to it. Use a "satin" black regular paint, ie. Chrysler road runner hood scoop or Amc . Won't absorb the dampness like primer will, or use 2 part EPOXY primer if you must use primer. Had that on my 52 Merc. P/up for yrs. & weather didn't touch it!!!!!

I'm with Pete on this one. Epoxy primer for sure and when you do decide to paint the car you can sand it and continue from there. It is pricey but I use nothing else as the base primer. I haven't tried the new epoxy that you get from NAPA yet (environment friendly) but have no choice now. It was about $165 and when mixed 1:1 you get two gallons.
If you use something else you will be stripping the car again to start the body work.
