Best paint for XMODS???

What is the best paint for painting your XMOD?

I've used Krylon Fusion before, but not on an XMOD... works pretty good on plastic.

I've also heard good things about Tamiya model paint as well.

I'm looking to paint my Supra gloss black, BTW.

I use duplicolor from walmart. It turned out pretty good. Just put down a layer of primer. Also if you are going to be racing it put down alot of clearcoat. I put down 10 coats. Overkill i know

Testors....check it out.

Here is a link to my skyline painted with testors jade metal flake enamel spray paint with a grey primer undercoat. I think it turned out good. Surprised me....Dont forget, Clean your car. Heat dry it so its not damp. Then You need to do a primer coat or this paint will be trashed. I do alot of models and this paint, donee this way has never failed me. Looks more like true auto paint than any ive seen. Oh yeah....hers my skyline link......
