r u in North America? You can buy automotive paint at walmart if you want! Its not too bad, I think its called duplicolor, tends to give a little bit of harsh orange peel though. Personally, I buy my paint from auto parts stores in spray cans. Metallic auto paints are easy to work with, just make sure you don't spray on too thick, too quick or too close and you should get by. I'm a firm believer that primer is a must, as is clear coat.
I've only used tamiay spray once. It works good, but for cheaper you can get a bigger can of auto paint with a wider variety of colors.
