I use cheap and cheerful 5 buck 'satin black' from 'Sams Warehouse, Go Lo or the Two dollar shop. I reckon it's as good as any of those big dollar brand name paints.

that's the one Firko..'EXPORT' Supercheap's brand for me..comes out perfect everytime ;) If I want a nicer finish for the cheapy gloss colors I simply clear over the top with a better brand (Parts Plus) auto acrylic clear for a nice chip resistant finish. The cheapy paint does scratch a little easier but I think it's because it flashes off and dries so fast which is another bonus for fast assemblings ;D
