Default What paint to use

I'm just about at the point of starting the painting process on my 1/3 scale Sig Spacewalker but I haven't yet decided on what paint I'm going to use. I'm using Sig Nitrate clear dope over the Koverall and need something compatible with it. What I plan to do is brush on the first coats and then I'll use a Preval sprayer for the FG parts and the finish coats on the fabric. I may not need to spray on the finish coats depending on how well the brushed coats look. It's a gasser so I don't need anything to be glow fuel proof. I've heard people talk about using Latex, urethane, etc. I could use butyrate dope but I have a feeling that'll be expensive considering the size of the model. Any suggestions?
