Default What paint brand should I buy?

I want to paint my car. I called the paint shop this morning to order some paint. I told him my paint code Grand Prix White: NH-565. He told me there are about 8 different brands of paint with that code. I told him I wasn't sure and he started to name the brands. The only brand I recognize was DuPont. What do you guys recommend I use for a brand of paint?

Also how much paint and clear coat should I buy?

Thanks
