Acrylics if you are doing it yourself(safety side is all) but if you are doing it in a booth(with all the PPE I would suspect...) then 2-pac

Definitely 2K if you have access to a booth. Remember, you have to bake 2K for best results, so make sure you have access to that as well.

If you are not the best painter, it is VERY easy to put runs in 2K. You can get excellent results with Acrylic too, and it is more workable after you apply it too.

This is ACRYLIC RED (neither image has been altered, both as photographed):
