RE: Looky what the newb painted
Some of the darker colors are transparent also. (I didn't know this) You'll need to get white or silver to back them up. Is expensive really. It's one of the reasons why I'm going to get an air brush and compressor. Should save on paint in the long run.
The only experience that I speak from is what I did above. You'll be fine. I ordered the Baja above and plan to do a black pirate theme thing...dunno yet.
E!
