I dont do much in the way of customising TF's anymore... But when I did and when I do My Zoids, for big spray jobs I usualy use Touch Up Car spray paint (Not enamel.. it fills in all the details and is too sticky... and chips.)
I only ever use Tamyia Acrylics for anything that involves a brush. Ive yet to try the Tamyia Spray cans... but some others might know more.
cool thanks Maxie, i'm going paint shopping on wednesday, now i know what to look for
I just use model paints. You can also use a purity seal to protect it afterwards.
I know others on the boards here use the Tamiya paints with great results, I've used some spray can Tamiya with decent results.
However for most of my painting I use Games Workshops paints. They adhere to most figures very well, and if you hit it with a gloss coat at the end of the job they dont chip or rub off.

Yep can't go wrong with Tamiya stuff.
Also I think it's a common misconception that the final clear coat prevents chipping and flaking. Not so. It's how well you prepare the surface beforehand with sanding and primer that determines how well the paint sticks.
