Tamiya Acrylic

What can i use instead of the brand names of model kit (hobby) paints, acrylics?

I want to paint my gundam but i cant buy any brand name paints like gundam paint, tamiya, or mr. hobby paints. What can i use instead of those acrylics that come in a jar. Keep in mind i am going to put a matt top coat and before that ill be coloring in the details lines with a marker. Anything will help, THANK YOU !

If you're trying to avoid the high prices of the 'official' model company paints, you might want to try acrylic craft paints like Ceramcoat, Apple Barrel, Folk Art or Anita's. These come in a wide variety of colors and are very inexpensive - depending on the brand, a 2oz bottle can be 80 some cents or less. They can be found at places like Michael's, Hobby Lobby or even the craft section of Walmart.

I switched from using the enamel and acrylic paints by companies like Testor's and Tamiya several years ago and have rarely had a problem, but you may want to test them on a scrap of whatever plastic your kit is made from to be sure.
