The best thing you can do for your car is get a color that matches your car or in your case get the 2 colors for your 2 tone, and do the whole car instead of repainting bad sections. The best paint you can get for it ( for going original ) is good laquer paint or if you cannot get it in your state, you could smuggle it in from another state that sells it and don't get cought using it or smuggeling it in for that fact, trust me, I'm also 16 and also I have my '51 Chevy Fleetline 4dr and although I'm not compleatly restoring, but for the most part, the only thing not original is the Thrush glasspack I put in it but that's for now, in the near future I will paint it dark purple ( originally paint code : 402, meyland black ). Also, a concourse restoration's paint job is not lead based paint but just a really really good and expensive 1, I'm not saying your going for concourse resto but they are the restoration of restoration's so lead paint isn't really nessesary. Really my point is, by using lead based paint which you can't get into the states NE way isn't going to make your car any more original than a non lead based paint.
