    Hello there! As the title says I bought the yamato 1/60 VF-1S unassembled valkyrie with the intent to turn it into Jetfire. Luckily, not much painting is required. I just really don't want to mess it up lol.

    Anyways I know that I need to wash the parts I'm painting, primer them, paint them, and then clear coat. (At least I think that is correct from all the guides I've been looking at.)

    What I specifically need to know is which brand of primer/red spray paint/clear coat should I get? I've heard great things about the Tamiya spray paints but really just don't know which one exactly. If you could be as specific as possible in your recommendations I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
