Default Wide Body Supra

I've had a Toyota Supra (xmods) body lying around, and Iconz's Silvia project inspired me to do some body work. I'm not really into, nor good at body work, so I'll need some help from the community with this one.
I'm a decent painter, some of you may have noticed in my Hemi-Cuda joint project, so don't UNDER estimate me.

I'll have pics up tomorrow, you guys know I post pics.

But first is first here are my goals:

Frost Blue paint
White Trim
Some Bondo/Putty work

Now, this is what I need information wise:

What kind of putty should I use?
What kind of rattlecan/spraypaint is best for painting cars

Thanks, I really want this to work out, and maybe I'll actually get in to modifying bodies, not just mounting model kits, with 1 tone color.

Thanks, I'm looking at putty as we speak.

I'm hoping to go with a frost blue, now to look for that.

Milliput putty and Duplicolor spray paint.
I have some awesome blue paint from Duplicolor, I think its called Medium Maui Blue but I'd have to check. You can get it at most auto parts stores.

Edit: It is Medium Maui Blue, I believe it is the same color Noturday used on his 350Z but I'm not sure.
