Do not use any of the pactra paints or tamiya paints. Use the testors model paints. I'm not sure about the faskolor paints I didn't bother. I was going to airbrush mine, but found it easier to just use a brush. I'll never paint another one again though, because my planes last less time than a lexan body

I have a lot of Faskolor so was going to try that....but after reading around testors seems the most common option.....I am also a little wary, considering how little it takes to total these things!

Yes, be carefull of the type of paint.
Check out Createx or the waterbased Parma paints.

Also about the thickness of the paint.

My Space Scooter, didn't like much extra wieght.
