I've never painted a figure, ever. So i have no clue about paints for plastics. There is a very simple project that I would like to do, I have a transformers figure and I would like to paint his chest vents dark grey (same color as his legs). Please check out this screenshot i took from a guy's youtube channel: https://imgur.com/FIXadGd the dark grey vents that I highlighted in the red boxes are painted on. The figure comes all blue. This seems like a pretty simple project that even I could do, I just need to know what paint to buy. Any reccomendations for a paint, color and where to order online would be appreciated. Thank you!

I would recommend Testors Model Masters acrylics or Tamiya acrylics. Both have their advantages and disadvantages but are readily available.I assume you are using a paint brush and not an airbrush or spray paint?

I prefer Tamiya over model masters.

If you get the model masters, make sure it’s the acrylic, not the enamel, bottles look really similar. Hobby Lobby has the model masters, hobby town usa has the Tamiya. You could order online also.
