Sorry if this has been asked before but I was having trouble finding it. I've been looking for awhile now at painted interiors and I've seen plenty of pictures and think i finally decided on what colors to do and what parts to do. I was wondering if some people could tell what kind of paint to use. What brands and stuff and were could I find these paints at? Also what prep work would need to be done if any in order for it to look good. Will I have to primer it, or sand it, or anything of that sort?

Do all that prep if you want to. It couldn't hurt but all I did was use Duplicolor Caliper paint in gun metal [about 3 thick coats - dried about an hour inbetween] and then 2 coats of the Duplicolor Caliper Paint Clear Coat and it is perfectly smooth. The trick was to let the coats settle into the texture and dry between coats with the parts more or less level to the plane of the table they dried on. Way less work with the same results.
