Car Paint

i need to have my bumper repainted..

does anyone know:

what brand of paint is good?
how many coats of paint should be used?
what type of primer should be used?

(body shop wants to use colored primer but wont that just encourage them to skimp out on actual paint because it's less noticeable if not enough paint is used? )
