so here's my idea for the colour

2014 metallic red renault clio

If you are going down the expensive paint route you may as well spend a little more time on the prep and fix all the dents! Mine is having a cheapo paint job but I'm getting the body straight first.

go for a solid colour with a ceramic binder it is a lot more hard wearing used on buses n trucks

£25 on a tin of Hammerite and a pack of 4" foam rollers. Job done!

It's only gonna get trashed if you drive it properly anyway. ;)
