the basic colors are black and silver, but if you can get a hold of more, then go ahead and do so. for a first kit there is no need to fully paint it, if your just learning. spray painting needs some getting used to, but it really isn't so hard at all.

at work i use the spray paint at times...but just making sure... i use primer first then coat it like 3 times then add decals then clear cost

yea, that's pretty much it. it would be best if you used laquer with laquer, enamel with enamel, and acrylic with acrylic, otherwise things might get nasty.
