Question Paints for customization

I am new to customizing. Can anyone give me some helpful advice as to what kind of paint works best on plastic? For example I want to pant some of the parts on my S.N.A.K.E. armor (aka robot defenders).

I'm using Revell enamel and acrylics, both are good, but you have to take care. A friend told me about a paint sealant that helps from Revell too.

I use Model Master Acryl and sometimes Poyscale. Both are Acrylic and found at your local hobby store.

For figures I use Revell and Humbrol semi-matt enamels. The semi-matt finish matches the factory paint finish perfectly, and enamels are much more durable than acrylics, although they do require mineral turpentine clean up. For vehicles I use matt finish spray enamels, especially automobile undercoat for blacks and greys.
