Cheap spraypaints & Primers

I just bought a Tamiya Mercedes Benz SLK model and I was thinking of buying the tamiya spraycans and tamiya primer, but I found them to be a bit expensive for such a small amount. I was wondering if anyone knows a cheaper primer and spraypaints to paint the model???

From what I hear, go for the tamiya. Better finish, more money.

Try duplicolor paint and primer.About $3.50 a can and you get twice as much as Tamiya and Testors.You can get it at AutoZone or Wal-Mart.It also dries very fast and goes on thin.

Duplicolor orange-peels very easily, but yeah its a good alternative to tamiya.

everyone fears orange peel
but it's nothing a little sandpaper can't fix

Which brand makes the Chamelion paints? I wouldn't mind doing a model in those types of colours. Is it easy to apply? Any hints/tips about how to apply it? Do you need priner, is there a special way to put it on? How much is it? Anyone know in AUSD?

DupliColor.....

So does anyone have info about the chamelion colours in Australia? Or how to apply it?

Go to auto color shop and ther they can mix you any color you want and even put it in spray cans.
