Sand the parts you want to paint first. I would personally use testors model enamel paint but that's my preference. I know some people use acrylic.

i use Tamiya paints for the whole bodies/large areas, and then i use Testors for small details...
Tamiya is arcrylic, so you can kinda put your fingers all over it, and it wont scrape off like Testors...buts its harder to take off if you mess up...you might have to sand it....

ive never heard of pactra even if it is what i use. i just used up the last of my paint fixin a scratch i know what the stuff i use looks like so i dont have a problem finding it i think i just use regular testors i like it because with the right amount of paint thinner you can paint metal cars too and any metal parts on your car if you have any

I've had good luck with Testor's paints. I prefer their spray paint for the body, mostly because I suck at painting with the brush. Just takes a little more masking time.
