Just my opinion and it's free. You are going to put a lot of work into it so don't buy cheap paint. Use an automotive finish with hardener so that if in the future you want to touch up a spot you won't have bubbling and crazing of the old crap finish underneath. Primer is important from the standpoint that it will find any areas that are not able to accept the final finish such as grease, oil, silicone, wax or underlying paint that reacts to the new finish. You can however get away without it on previously painted surfaces if you are willing to spot prime bare areas and find out the hard way about incompatible surfaces. Paint the subassemblies as a unit with all the bolts in place and tightened then assemble the fenders, hoods, wheels, and seat, etc. and touch up any bolt heads that will rust with a brush.
Haven't done this kind of work for 45 years so I certainly am not an expert on the new products that are available to give a very nice finish with little experience. The new stuff does hold up to weather very well with little or no maintenance
