Default painting a stand up ski..

I had a stand up jet ski given to me, and its just bare fiberglass, I am going to paint it. I havent painted something in years, and this will be my first experience painting fiberglass. What paint should I use, Im just going to do a simple green and silver. Should I just use regular automotive paint? Reduce it by how much? Just clear it?

I would use PPG's DBC base coat with DCU 2021 clear if the stripes have a lot of detail otherwise i would just shoot it in PPG's single stage Concept and lay the stripe on top later.
