hello there, welcome and thank you for registering to our forum! You can use normal spray paint that you can buy from hardware or paint specialty stores. Make sure that the paint you are buying is compatible to plastic. I recommend Krylon spray paint here are some example of my finished kits with krylon paint buy the one that says "FOR PLASTIC"   you can go to this site for some paints www.krylon.com/ |

I don't have a spray kit, do have any tricks for hand painting to be look nice. I try some gundam markers but i find it not even in texture and when i re coat it it just not good it's like it back to the same. it seems that the marker did'nt stick to the plastic kit any idea why?

There is also one method that I always use to make it really clean. press the gundam marker until its ink spilled out then brush it on your kit.  here is one product of the hand paint method using gundam marker.  you can also use those bottled tamiya paints. and here is one product of it  |
