Flat black
Range Rover Blues:
If you are using modern paints then you will be fine working at home, they are mostly water-based synthetics over here. A face mast is a good idea though but don't use those cheapo disposable ones, they clog up way to quick leaving you breathing dust.
If you don't need a compressor then get an electric spraygun, much cheaper option and just as effective.
Don't scotchbright the car, wet flat it with about 800 grade wet&dry, otherwise next summer you will be avble to see all the scratchmarks you put in rubbing it down.
I would suggest a primer, for various reasons.
If you go through the paint then you will need to spot prime anyway and this leaves circles in the paint finish.
After the first couple of coats you may weant to rub the paintwork down to get it smooth, primer is easier to rub down and cheaper, even if you use a high-build primer like I do.
Primer will help the new paintwork stay on for more than a couple of years.
If you don't prime then you need to break the surface of the old paint, hence the wet&dry, though it's a good idea either way.

1. I'm going to do it myself, and it's tough to get a decent looking finish (as a first time car painter) with a gloss finish paint.

Here r 110, 109 n 88 in matt black (not a disco).
all were sanded down with sand papers only, and manually sprayed using spray can.
not bad in my opinion.
cheers.

My brother has spayed his 90 matt black using chassis undercoat, it coverd very well and is tough as nails, gives a good finish too ;) the truck can be viewed at here
