Default Tips for a 1st timer?

1st off you guys have awesome talents as painters! I can't believe some of the designs you all have done. Now I'm not artistic in the least but I think I can do up a decent body if I try! I'll keep it simple.

Going with a JConcepts Truth or Proline Desert Rat body. Gonna keep it 2 colors. Nothing fancy just some streaks here or there.

Is using that overspray stuff easy? I know if I use tape i'll mess up. Are regular rattle cans you get at Home Depot OK or should I run with model quality rattle cans? Anywhere I can get some cool decals?

Any help would be appreciated!

u cant use home depot spray paint or even the stuff at walmart (testors)

you need spray paint for lexan bodies, you use anything else, it wont stick and it will flake off and you run the risk of shattering the body.

the only krylon spray paint you can use is the fusion line
