painting a stitch and glue

Hello. Am seeking help and advice on what to paint onto my stitch and glue WestGreenland Kayak. It's pretty much the usual -- marine mahogany, epoxy and fibreglass tape. I'm going to paint it myself and would be very grateful to anyone who could advise on paint. Should I go marine or polyurethane? Porch paint or Tremclad? I've heard it all, but need help. Has anyone ever used an autobody spray shop? And then after its painted, do I put some kind of laquer or varnish on top, or just wax it with, say, mothers carnuba wax. Please, for God's sake, help!!!
