Home depot sells the small "samples" they call them. Actually, they have enough paint in one can to do an entire medium sized plane, and they are only around $4. I use washer fluid and floetrol. It works very well and is so user friendly. If you make a mistake you can wipe it off and start over. When airbrushing, I keep my heat gun handy to speed up drying, so I can keep working. I think latex tends to clog a lot in the airbrush, compared to other types of paints, but it does still work well. My Pica Dora as well, and my last project a Fokker tripe. Both usingBehr, and airbrushed quite heavily.
