Re: Paint to use.
I used Tamiya spray paints and had good sucess. I didn't use primer right off the bat, but I would suggest you use it. It's less expensive than the coloured stuff and you will find yourself using many more coats of colour especially on the black plastic.
I also used a pearl clear coat on my truck and was really happy with it. The blue worked really well, and the gold that I used was much more tempermental (both from the spray can and the brushed stuff). Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll do my best to help... Here's the link to my truck... http://www.rctruckandconstruction.co...ead.php?t=1187

Re: Paint to use.
IMHO , hobby paint s#$ks and rattle's are the worst . I go to the auto paint supply and have them mix the color for me ( supposedly they will put your mix in a rattle can ). when I'm ready to paint I put my own desired reducer for the temp and the right measure of catalyst and spray with my hvlp . sorry I got use to the hvlp and it's hard to go back
