If you have never used real auto paint then dont use it. Working with auto paint takes expierience to thin and learn how it reacts.

Just use Tamiya acrylic paints and Tamiya acrylic thinner.

Buy spray cans. No mixing required. It doesn't really make sense IMO to use mixed paint.

Just buy model paint and thinner, then thin it to about the consistency of milk (put some milk in a glass and swirl it around, see how thin it is on the glass? the paint should be kinda like that) Forgot the ratio of paint : thinner though.
