Default More Advice...paint types

I posted a few days ago about a Tamiya Leopard 2A6 that I had just purchased. It arrived in the mail this weekend, and man is it nice!!

Anyway, I have only built static models in the past. These I would paint with acrylics and enamels. I never had to worry about the paint chipping or wearing off.

Now I need advice on which kinds of paints to use for an RC model. Since this is a mixed media model (many types of plastic and metal), can I just use something similar to Tamiya metal primer? Is there anything that would be better to use? Also, what do you guys use as a top coat after your camo is on?

Thanks for the help
