The car is black... Would it be better to start with flat black to get good coverage, and then glos it over? Or go with gloss paint to start with?

Use a couple of cans of auto primer (black if you can find it) then sand with 1000 grit wet/dry paper. Then the gloss will go down MUCH better. The trick with the gloss is to put on a thinner gloss coat and let it get tacky (10 minutes) then come back with a good medium, wet on wet, coat. It will give you the best result possible for a cheap son of a gun like you. I know this because I'm a cheap son of a gun myself. Good Luck!

And don't skimp on the tack cloths after wet sanding.
