What paints?
Just wondering what kind of paints you guys use on your models. Looking for paints for airbrushing, so also what kind of thinner you use. Are there any particular paints (company, type of paint etc..) that will look better in a certain situation than another?
I'm using cobra colors for the body because they're pretty awesome. Not only do they look incredible, but they're easy to apply as well (end advertisement).

Re: What paints?
Generally tamiya acrylics for interiors thinned with tmiya thinner. For bodies, either decanted tamiya spraypaints or auto lacquers

Are there company preferances though? I see most people who use Enamels use Testors. For acrylics most people seem to use Tamaiya, but I read something about "metalizer" or something like that, to replace Tamaiya's chrome silver.

Cobra colors, Tamiya, Plastikote, Duplicolor, and Testors when I feel lucky

Re: What paints?
I use both Tamiya and Testors Acrylics, and Testors Enamels. I have to say that I prefer Testors Acrylics over Tamiya Acrylics, as they don't chunk up as easily, and tend to wash off easier.
