Go to Rider's or Hobby World and get some LusterKote paint. They have a primer but I don't like it so I use their white paint, it seems to work better, easier to sand also. My personal preference is Formula-U if either of them carry that, it has a better gloss to it and takes higher Nitro than LusterKote. It does run easier so it has to be laid on lightly. Clear coats aren't needed unless you're going over decals that can't take the nitro. Ignore the old woman at HW, I bought some paint there once when I came up there to Harbor Freight, she's getting senile.
