   Use two pack primer, (etch primer) in any colour, stripped my black saxo and found bright green primer.
   
   For the colour, get the car model code of the inside of the door sil iirc, and go to any car paint stockist, simply ask for that number.

   The quality of the primer matters more than the colour, and 3 or 4 coats of gloss (or whatever paint your using) later it wont matter what colour it was.
