Dave good choice in a model. I painted my chippy with Sherwin Williams latex semi gloss cut with water only. I used a pancake air compressor with a cheap air gun i bought at Harbor Freight. It is a Dynaflite kit covered w Koverall & Minwax polycrylic. Several rattle can coats of primer then shot with the latex. Going on two years old now & still looking like the day it was painted...Gene
