First let me say I am not a professional painter, just a serious hobbyist.
I've had good luck with Diamont products made by BASF. Your guards red was probably a single stage paint (not base coat/clear coat) as were most of the cars I've painted, but I opted to use base/clear on my repaints. I found the two stage process to be very forgiving, especially for someone like me without a paint booth. The Diamont color coats lay on especially nice, and if you go with the non-metalic guards red, you can sand any imperfections before shooting the clear without messing up any metal flake (which you don't have). Also, clear coat is very easy to sand and buff to a mirror finish.
I would go to a local auto paint supply store and they will fix you up with everything you need. They know what products work with the specific paint brands so you don't get any wierd reactions from non-compatible primers/sealers etc.
My local paint store has been an invaluable resource for me.
Good luck.
