I'm not sure what 2 pack is but 2k means 2 component. The primer and the hardener. Same thing with paint. If the paint/clear is in good shape then you can scuff and respray.
Check out SWRNC on YouTube. He's a good resource, he also has a channel called diyautoachool.
Also check out the refinish network and collision hub.
I also bought a few books off Amazon on how to repaint your car. I'll go track them down and post some links for you

Since you're new to painting, I'd like to recommend a book I read a few years back. I felt it had a lot of good information for a beginner. http://www.amazon.com/How-Paint-Your-Budget-Cartech/dp/1932494227/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1453735120&sr=8-2&keywords=how+to+paint+your+car
I've had luck in the past painting with PPG shopline and restoration shop paints from TCP Global. The TCP Global single stage urethane was really affordable and has held up well on a daily driven 1973 MGB GT. http://www.tcpglobal.com/Automotive-Paint/Restoration-Shop/
As for some of the other posts, Rustoleum paint jobs aren't the way to go. In five or ten years you won't be thanking yourself for rolling on oil based enamel all over your car.
