I'm new to modeling and waiting for my first 2 models to arrive at my door and I'm preparing the items needed for it.
I've got acrylic plaint but I'm not sure if this doesn't fade and we don't have hobby shops in the country I'm in. Does normal spray paints good for bases?
heres pictures of them:

Hello,
modern acrylic paints are not supposed to fade; however it is a good idea to protect the paint layer with a clearcoat.
Concerning the paint sprays, hardware-store paints may work, however it is advisable to make a compatibility test on a piece of sprue (nitrous paints may attack certain plastics).
