Welcome to the Forum, Max Payne!
You asked the right place! Lots of really good experts here.
Personally, I would use an airbrush or even aresol paint. Testor's enamel is good. so are most of the other major brands.
I find the paint layers much better if you make sure the body is clean (washed and dried), and a good primer over the body before you start painting the main sections. Brushing always seems to leave a brush mark or overpaint somewhere, no matter how careful... you maybe getting bubbles from the body not being free of oil or dirt.

I just purchased my first testors aresol (orange) and it blows. I have had much better luck with Krylon and Rust-oleum. just my .02.
RIP
