Exterior Paint for my 69 Crusader

Gosh i sure hope i have done this right........... here goes...... .......
Gooday all. As the newest member to this forum i would like to thank you alll for your interesting topics over the recent months, I have enjoyed browsing through your valuable information.
I have a few questions for those who are willing to help me with my decisions on paint for the external of my van. I am quite sure that this topic has done the rounds before, but i cannot find any recent comments to reference.
To enamel or 2-pot? this is my delema. Pro's and con's for each application. Does anyone have personal experience with both, or suggestions on what could work best?
Just to fill you in, i am no expert in this field (but have endless enthusiasm)
Paint is something one relies on others to both suggest and apply, as far as i am concerned. However, i have received numerous ideas/advise/arguments on what will be best, for my project. Basically, i have used a product called Coopers Paint Stripper to remove the very sad efforts others before me have splattered and licked onto this poor girl. A medly of interior and gloss enamel of colours ranging from mint green to devils maroon have been applied. (gee how trends and fasions have mis-guided peoples tastes)
Anyhow, this aside, i also have the issue of pitt marks in the aluminium which need attention. Any suggestions...... or rather any previous experience in this field would be greatly appreciated.
